Question 1

can you tell me normal body mass index for women?

Accepted Answer

BMI!: Good approximation for weight,  but not as good as body composition analysis. (percentage of body fat!) the numbers are: a bmi of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal. Anything below that is considered underweight, while a bmi from 25 to 29 is considered overweight. A bmi above 30 is considered obese.

Question 2

should a woman with a normal body mass index (bmi) before pregnancy should gain 11 to 20 pounds during pregnancy.?

Accepted Answer

Weight Gain: the Institutes of Medicine say that a woman with a normal BMI before pregnancy is recommended to gain 25-35 pounds during pregnancy.  Many physicains believe that the weight gain targets are too high, however.  It is always best to discuss personal targets with the individual doctor taking care of the patient.

Question 3

what's the best way for me to calculate body mass index for women?

Please see below: Body mass index (bmi) is a number calculated from a person's weight and height. Bmi is a fairly reliable indicator of body fatness for most people.
Formula: 
weight (lb) / [height (in)]2 x 703 
calculate bmi by dividing weight in pounds (lbs) by height in inches (in) squared and multiplying by a conversion factor of 703.

Question 6

what is the average body mass index (bmi) of women in the us?

Accepted Answer

2011 stats!: Women over 30 in the us: 29.2- overweight.  30 is defined as obese.  There has been a consistent upward trend over the last 30 years, which bodes poorly for our nation's health.  This is also true for men, whose average was 28.1 in 2011, based on government stats! diet and exercise need improvement!

Question 7

i have heard about the body mass index which determines if a person has normal weight. what is the formula?

Accepted Answer

Try this.: Just remember bmi is not a good measurement for an athletic person. It does not take into account body fat%, which is a way better formula to determine a "healthy" weight. **

Question 8

i have normal blood pressure and excellent body mass index with no comorbidities, yet my ankle brachial index is 1.45? why is that?

Accepted Answer

: https://stanfordmedicine25.stanford.edu/the25/ankle-brachial-index.html. You should look at the interpretation at the website to understand better and you should not be anxious. I wonder why you even checked your ABI if you do not have any medical complaint, there is danger to checking when there is no need to is what I mean.

Question 9

my resting heart rate is 80 to 90. i have perfect body mass index, non smoker, work out 4 days per week, normal ecg, perfect blood pressure, and no complaints or comorbidities, what could be the reason for this?

Accepted Answer

: When and how did you measure the heart rate?  Try to get your pulse rate when you wake up, without getting out of bed. Make sure that you are well hydrated, drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless.

Question 10

my resting heart rate is 80 to 90 when i wake up. i have perfect body mass index, non smoker, work out 4 days per week, normal ecg, perfect blood pressure, and no complaints or comorbidities, what could be the reason for this?

Accepted Answer

: You don't say what your heartrate is at other times, but if you usually have a slower heart rate and you check this "resting heart rate" before you rise from lying to sitting up, then it's likely you are startled by an alarm clock, waking from a dream, anxious or excited when you wake up.  As long as it returns to normal, you're ok, but you should explore why you get this probable adrenaline rush.
