You're NOT chubby. In fact, you're underweight. The lowest weight you should be is 109 Pounds.
How much does 70 means in BMI?
A BMI of 70 would be beyond obese. Frankly, it would be on the verge of death pretty much.
The short answer is that you've asked an unanswerable question. I certainly hope this question isn't being asked that you may find the proper description of her body issues for future insults. The only medically relevant term you used was obese, and it doesn't sound like your wife qualifies. Your wife may have excess fat, or may store it differently than others. No one can describe someone they can't see as "fat" or "plump", so I will address the only relevant issue at hand: health. I'm going to assume you're asking out of love, respect and concern for her health. No single test or factor can provide a complete picture of health. A BMI of 30 or more is considered obese, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 18.5-24.9 normal. Her BMI is considered normal. You also say she has a 33.5" waist if I read correctly. That number is quite high. Carrying excess fat around the stomach is thought to increase the risk of many health ailments, including and especially heart troubles. That said, I don't know what her weight is or how she's built, so I can't say for certain how much body fat she is carrying or if she has health problems. This is a matter better left between her and her doctor.
How can you have a borderline underweight BMI but an above average body fat percentage?
Easy. It's known as skinny fat. Caused by having very little muscle mass. Muscle weighs more than fat so the bmi would be much higher if there more more muscle. More common in women, who tend to have higher percentage body fat and lower muscle mass than men naturally.
A healthy minimum body fat percentage for women is 10% and for men around 5%. Body fat percentages much lower than those are unhealthy and dangerous and if they get too low, you're at risk of becoming sterile (can't have children).
What happens when you crack your fingers?
Next we stopped by the inestimable How Stuff Works. Marshall Brain corroborated our earlier findings and offered a bit more detail. Heexplains that the bubble forms in a process called "cavitation." Once you've cracked your knuckle, it takes about 25-30 minutes for the gas to dissolve into the joint fluid. During this time, you can't crack the knuckle again. But once the gas is dissolved, cavitation is once again possible, and you can start popping your knuckles to your hand's content.
Okay, now we know what happens when you crack your knuckles, but are you doing serious damage? We read a bit more and discovered that only one in-depth study of the issue has been published. The study focused on 300 habitual knuckle crackers and found no evidence linking knuckle cracking and Arthritis. Chronic crackers did suffer other harm, including soft tissue damage and loss of grip strength. This damage is usually minor, however, and cracking your knuckles actually has some benefits -- you'll feel looser and enjoy more mobility in your joints immediately after popping.
22.52 bmi what is your weight?
It depends on your height. It's impossible to tell how much you weigh just by your BMI alone.
A diet high in what increases the bodies need for water?
A high protein diet! One reason weight loss is achieved on these high-protein diets, at least temporarily, is actually due to water loss. The increase in the amount of protein consumed, especially from meat and dairy products, raises the levels of uric acid and urea in the blood. These are toxic by-products of protein breakdown and metabolism. The body eliminates this uric acid and urea by pumping lots of water into the kidneys and urinary tract to help it flush out. However, a detrimental side effect of this diuretic response is the loss of essential minerals from the body, including calcium. The high intake of protein leaches calcium from the bones, which leads to osteoporosis.
What is the purpose of body mass index?

What is the average body fat index for a 127 lb 63 yr old woman?
The average body fat percentage for a 63-year-old woman can vary based on factors like activity level and overall health. Generally, healthy body fat percentages for women in this age group range from 23% to 35%. For a woman weighing 127 lbs, this could translate to a body fat weight of approximately 29 to 44 pounds. However, individual assessments are necessary for accurate determinations.
Yes, if it is prescribed by your doctor, and your doctor knows of your condition, then definitely take it. Muscle relaxants are generally prescribed to affect your skeletal muscles.
Your BMI is just a ratio of your waist size to your height. It provides an approximate measure of your body fat not your muscle mass.
What is Lottie Moss's body mass index?
Lottie Moss's body mass index (BMI) is not publicly available as she has not disclosed her weight or height. BMI is calculated using an individual's weight and height, and without this information, it's impossible to determine her BMI. For accurate health assessments, it's best to consult health professionals or utilize verified health resources.
Precursors to the BMI ratings used by some health professionals were used by insurance companies in the process of `rating` their clients.
BMI is the `brainchild` (arguable) of Quetelet, a mathematician; it is an estimate of ratings of healthy or unhealthy weight that is considered crude by kinesiologists and sophisticated health professionals because it does not take into account body composition (i.e., is the weight fat mass or fat-free mass?).
It is excellent. Normally, over 30 is considered obese and from 25 to 30 is considered overweight. Anything below 20 may be too low. Therefore, the average ideal range is between 20 and 25---and you are right at the low end of that range, which is excellent.
On the other hand, BMI is an imprecise measuring tool. It simply does not work well for many kinds of people such as bodybuilders and athletes. A better measure would be your percentage of body fat.
