Is 140 pounds considered overweight for a 5' 3 girl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To determine if 140 pounds is considered overweight for a girl who is 5 feet 3 inches tall (5'3"), we can calculate her body mass index (BMI). BMI is a commonly used indicator of body fatness based on height and weight.

Using the BMI formula:

BMI = (weight in pounds / (height in inches x height in inches)) x 703

For a 5'3" girl weighing 140 pounds:

BMI = (140 / (63 x 63)) x 703

BMI ≈ (140 / 3969) x 703

BMI ≈ 0.0353 x 703

BMI ≈ 24.84

According to the BMI categories established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal weight for adults. However, BMI categories are different for children and adolescents, and they also vary by age and sex.

For girls aged 2 to 20 years old, BMI is interpreted using BMI-for-age percentile charts, which compare a child's BMI to others of the same age and sex.

It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to assess overall health and determine if a weight is healthy for an individual, as BMI is just one factor to consider and may not accurately reflect factors such as muscle mass or body composition.

What is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA), or Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), is a chronic inflammatory joint condition affecting children and adolescents. It causes persistent joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, with subtypes like oligoarthritis, polyarthritis, systemic arthritis, enthesitis-related arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis. The exact cause is unclear, but it involves genetic and environmental factors.

Treatment includes medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments to manage symptoms and preserve joint function. Early diagnosis and tailored care are crucial for better outcomes.

Moreover, If you are pursuing Pediatrics or interested in gaining in depth knowledge in this area, you can go for this online course- PediatricsMD by Dr. Piyush Gupta.

This is an excellent course helping the learners to enhance their understanding and gain conceptual clarity through amazing video lectures and notes.

Benchmark trials and Self-assessment questions are also included for the self-evaluation of learners.

Overall, I would suggest every student to consider opting this online course.

How much should a 12 year old bench press?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bench pressing is based entirely on weight, height, and just how strong you are (which by doing workouts will make you stronger). Alot of people are going to throw up junk answers, saying that they can bench like 225 or even into the 300's at 12. Don't listen to them. People also say they bench like 125 to 135, which can be accurate for a 12 year old, but most of them are huge, which again goes back to the weight thing...

A healthy bench press would be to bench your own weight. That is the primary goal. Most 12 year olds can't do that. I'm 12, 5'2, and I weigh in at 85 lbs. I lift six days a week (bench press on 3 days) mostly because I'm a wrestler. I max out 95-100 but I can throw up 95 a good 2, maybe 3 times. I struggle alot with 100 though. Most of my friends can only get 60, maybe 65. I'd say of my usual group of friends, the only other guy benching near me, is my friend who maxes out at 85 or 90. Only he really works out though. He weighs 105. So I'd say I'm an above average lifter just because I can get 10-15 pounds up from my weight. An average 12 year old probably won't bench his weight from the get go, it'll take some working out, but if I had to guess an average, I'd say that 70-80 should be for those who weigh under a 100. Just my opinion though

Why is family health important?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A healthy family will have healthy relationships, probably including communication, discussion rather than arguments, and good conflict resolution. These are all helpful for mental health.

Poor family relationships can contribute to mental disorders or make them worse when they already exist. This is one reason why family therapy (which includes education about the disorders, training on how to better communicate, empathy training, and so on) is so important in some disorders.

What time should a 12 year old go to bed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not everyone agrees on the best time for a 12-year-old to go to bed. Here are some opinions:

  • 10oclock If they go to bed earlier, the parents are no fun.
  • 9:00 on a school day and 10 to 12 on a weekend. This is because their brains need time to think about 8 hours of sleep; should do it only on a weekday though.
  • If you are going to school most likely 9:45 or maybe 10:00 pm

How much water should a teenager drink in a day?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Children should drink between 6-8 glasses a day.

The standard recommendation of water intake for children is at least 6-8 glasses (1.5 - 2 liters) a day, drunk regularly throughout the day (at least 3-4 glasses while at school) ensuring that plenty of additional fluid is drunk during warm weather and/or when exercising.

For teenage boys aged 14 over who require a higher average fluid intake of 2.6 liters (about 11 large glasses).

Adults should drink half of their body weight in ounces if they only exercise about 20 minutes a day, and it is not extremely hot weather. It might be the same for children. For example if a person weighs 130 pounds they should drink at least 65 ounces of water a day.

If you dont eat all day what happens?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not being a doctor, or nutritionist, this will be a lay answer to be replaced or improved when an expert comes along. "...don't eat all day..." implies not eating since waking up and rising. At that point, your blood sugar level in your bloodstream is at its lowest, normally refered [I think] to as "fasting level." If one does not have any food material introduced to the system via eating, digestion, and absorbtion, then body will begin to take its energy supply from itself. If there is body fat, I think it will be utilized first, and assuming the total absense of fat, then the protein of the muscles will be utilized..j3h.
