Discussion of Body Mass Index, Obesity, Body Type, Waistline, Coronary Risk
Don Kirkman wrote in message . ..
It seems to me I heard somewhere that Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD wrote in article 1095440008.lKa5KOq5PjCwLBlSx0KAuw@teranews: Don Kirkman wrote: There is a lengthy summary article discussing these issues, collecting material from a number of sources, at http://members.nuvox.net/~on.jwclymer/bmi.html The article includes relevant formulas and summarizes some research in chart form; it is so diverse I won't try to critique it but it appears to rate waistline size and waist to height ratio fairly high as practical measures of coronary risk. FWIW, one observation in the article is that to lose one inch of waistline a person will typically have to lose six to eight pounds of body weight. Truth is simple, I guess--no formulas or anything. :-) In truth, this is a formula with the constant (C) is given as being from 1/8 to 1/6 (inches/pound). That is your interpretation; This is the truth. all you've done is take someone else's work (that in the article, and my allusion to it), recast it, and sell it as your own so you can claim there *is* a formula-- I'm not selling anything. Sorry you don't like the fact that what you described was indeed a formula. there was none in the article I cited, because they were discussing it as a rule of thumb. Some rules of thumb are formulae. change in waistline = C * wtloss A formula you admit has no basis but your own imagination. A formula that works to predict the dependent variable as a function of the independent variable. Since you ask elsewhere. Inches would be and example of a unit of length. Oh, is *that* what that means? Yes. How droll. ;-) Sorry the truth bores you. How many units of length can you name with your medical education? An infinite number. Each multiple of an inch can be arbitrarily named as a unit. Similar each foot, each yard, each meter, each centimeter, nanometer, kilometer, et cetera. Please answer this and the rest of the questions in the thread where I asked them. I have. You remain in my prayers, dear Don whom I love. May God bless you on this Lord's day.
