Answer:

30 kg/m2

Explanation:

The body mass index (BMI) is a simple indicator of the relationship between weight and height (height) that is frequently used to identify overweight and obesity in adults. It is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilos by the square of their height in meters (kg / m2). For example, a person who weighs 60 kg and is 1.60 m tall has a BMI = 23.4 (60 / 1.60 = 60 / 2.56 = 23.4).

According to the World Health Organization:

A BMI equal to or greater than 25 determines overweight.

A BMI equal to or greater than 30 determines obesity.

But in addition to weight, the place where fat accumulates matters. In men, abdominal distribution is more frequent and in women at hip level.

Abdominal distribution of fat is associated with increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure and is assessed by measuring the waist circumference. A waist circumference greater than 88 cm in women and 102 cm in men is considered risky.

What do low-fat ground meat and chicken breasts have in common?
ahrayia [7]
B) they both require a bit of oil when cooking

• ground meats are a lot more squishy than chicken breast which is hard to break by hand so they can’t have the same texture
• cooking method is not the same bc when cooking ground meats they are broken down while chicken breast is flipped
•speaking of breaking down, since the ground meat is much smaller they cook faster while chicken breasts need more time to cooking in between
