Ingaba ubunzima bomntwana wakho buchanekile? Masithethe nge-BMI (Body Mass Index)!

Ngaba wakha waliva igama elithi BMI? Mhlawumbi ugqirha ukhe walisebenzisa eli gama xa ethetha ngobunzima bomntwana wakho, okanye nokuba banobunzima obufanelekileyo xa kuthelekiswa nobude bakhe. Abazali abaninzi bayakhathazeka kancinci xa besiva oku, becinga, "Owu, i-BMI yomntwana wam iphezulu kangaka, ilungile? Ingaba imbi loo nto?" Oku asikokukhathazeka, kodwa kubaluleke kakhulu ukuyiqonda kakuhle. Ngoko ke namhlanje siza kuthetha ngokuba yiBMI (Body Mass Index), ithetha ukuthini, kwaye sifanele sicinge njani ngayo, ngokulula, ngolwimi onokuluqonda?

Iyintoni i-BMI (Body Mass Index) ngokulula?

Kulungile, masiqale sijonge ukuba yintoni i-BMI. Ngamafutshane, i-BMI yindlela yokulinganisa esetyenziswa ukubona ukuba ubunzima bomntu bufanelekile na ngobude bakhe. Ibalwa kusetyenziswa ubude nobunzima bomntwana wakho. Ayilinganisi ngqo amafutha omzimba, kodwa inceda ekufumaneni ingcamango eqikelelweyo (uqikelelo) yokuba umntwana wakho unalo inqanaba elingakanani lamafutha emzimbeni.

Cinga ngale ndlela, silinganisa indawo yendlu ngokulinganisa ubude nobubanzi bayo. Ngokufanayo, ukuze sifumane umbono wempilo yomzimba yomntwana, sisebenzisa ubude nobunzima ukuze sifumane eli xabiso le-BMI. Kodwa awunakwazi ukubona ukuba mangaphi amagumbi akhoyo endlwini okanye ukuba iindonga zinobukhulu kangakanani ngokulinganisa ubude nobubanzi bayo. Yiyo le i-BMI. Isinika isikhokelo, kodwa ayisixeleli yonke into.

Uyijonga njani i-BMI yomntwana (Body Mass Index)? Kutheni ibalulekile?

Ngokwesiqhelo, emva kokuba umntwana wakho egqibe iminyaka emibini ubudala , ugqirha uya kujonga eli xabiso le-BMI ngexesha lokuhlolwa rhoqo. Oku akuyonto onokuyijonga kube kanye uze uyilibale. Ubusazi? Amaxabiso e-BMI yabantwana ayatshintsha ngokweminyaka. Yiyo loo nto oogqirha beneetshathi ezikhethekileyo (iitshathi zokukhula ezisemgangathweni zesini) - iitshathi ezahlukeneyo zamantombazana, iitshathi ezahlukeneyo zamakhwenkwe. Oko ugqirha akwenzayo kukulinganisa ixabiso le-BMI yomntwana ngalo lonke ixesha aze aliphawule kwitshathi efanelekileyo.

"Ngokurekhoda amaxabiso e-BMI ngale ndlela izihlandlo ezininzi zilandelelana, ugqirha unokuyiqonda ngokucacileyo indlela eyenzeka ngayo indlela yokukhula komntwana wakho."

Kubaluleke kakhulu ukujonga indlela umntwana akhula ngayo ngale ndlela. Kuba, abanye abantwana batyeba kancinci kakhulu. Abanye abantwana batyeba ngequbuliso. Ngokuhlala ejonga ixabiso le-BMI, ugqirha unokufumana umbono olungileyo wokuba ubunzima bomntwana buyakhula ngokukhawuleza okanye kancinci kakhulu . Ngoko ke, unokugqiba ukuba ngawaphi amanyathelo afanele awathathe, ukuba kuyimfuneko.

Zithini ezi BMI kunye neepersenti?

Ngoku, emva kokujonga i-BMI yomntwana wakho, ugqirha usenokuthi, "I-BMI yomntwana wakho ikwi-60th percentile." Size sizibuze, "Ithetha ukuthini le percentile?"

Kalula nje,I-percentile sisilinganiselo esibonisa apho i-BMI yomntwana wakho ithelekiswa khona nabanye abantwana abaneminyaka efanayo nesini esifanayo.

Umzekelo, masithi i-BMI yomntwana wakho ikwi-60th percentile. Oku kuthetha ukuba ukuba ukhetha ngokungacwangciswanga abanye abantwana abali-100 abaneminyaka yobudala kunye nesini somntwana wakho (amantombazana, amantombazana, amakhwenkwe, amakhwenkwe), i-BMI yomntwana wakho ingaphezulu kwama-60 kwabo bantwana bali-100. Abanye abantwana abangama-40 bane-BMI ephezulu kune-BMI yomntwana wakho. Oku kuthetha ukuba, xa kuthelekiswa nabanye abantwana abaneminyaka yakhe, uphakathi, ungaphezulu kancinci komndilili.

Eli xabiso lepesenti lisetyenziswa ngoogqirha ukwahlula umntwana njengonobunzima obuphantsi, onobunzima obusempilweni, otyebileyo, okanye otyebileyo.

Ingaba i-BMI (Body Mass Index) isoloko ichanekile nge-100%?

Nantsi into ekufuneka siyiqonde sonke. I-BMI sisikhokelo esicacileyo, asilovavanyo oluchanekileyo lwe-100%. Kukho izizathu ezahlukeneyo zaloo nto.

Amafutha omzimba akalinganiswa ngokuthe ngqo.

Njengoko benditshilo ngaphambili, i-BMI ayilinganisi ngqo amafutha omzimba. Cinga ngayo, kukho abantwana abadlala kakuhle kwezemidlalo, abaleke baze batsibe. Basenokuba nezihlunu eziphuhlileyo. Izihlunu zinzima. Emva koko, i-BMI yomntwana onjalo inokubonakala iphezulu kancinci. Akungenxa yokuba utyebile, kodwa kungenxa yokuba unezihlunu ezininzi emzimbeni wakhe.

Kwakhona, kukho abantwana abanemizimba emikhulu (umzimba) kancinci. Basenokuba nobunzima obuncinci kunabanye abantwana, kwaye akungenxa yokuba banamafutha amaninzi.

Kwelinye icala, kukho abantwana abancinci nababonakala bebhityile. Nokuba i-BMI yabo ikwinqanaba eliqhelekileyo, amafutha omzimba wabo anokuba phezulu kancinci. Ngoko ke, akulunganga ukugqiba kwangoko ngokuthi, "Owu, umntwana wam utyebile" okanye "ubhityile" ngokusekelwe kwi-BMI yodwa.

Utshintsho ngexesha lokufikisa

Enye into ebaluleke kakhulu lixesha apho abantwana befikelela ebuntwini . Uyazi, ngelo xesha, imizimba yabantwana itshintsha ngequbuliso. Bayakhula babe bade kwaye babe nobunzima obungakumbi. Imizimba yamantombazana iyatshintsha imilo, izihlunu zamakhwenkwe ziyakhula. Ngeli xesha, abantwana abaninzi batyeba kancinci ngequbuliso. Emva koko, i-BMI yabo inokunyuka.

"Oku kudla ngokuba yinto eqhelekileyo, yinxalenye yendalo yokukhula komntwana. Nangona kunjalo, ngugqirha kuphela ohlola umntwana wakho onokutsho ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba oko kunyuka kwesisindo kuyinto eqhelekileyo okanye ukuba yinto ekufuneka siyinike ingqalelo ekhethekileyo."

Ngoko ke, ingakumbi xa umntwana wakho efika ebusheni, ungakhathazeki nge-BMI yodwa. Thetha nogqirha wakho ukuqinisekisa ukuba ukukhula kwakhe kuqhelekile.

Indlela yokuhlela ubunzima ngokwexabiso le-BMI (Body Mass Index)?

Kulungile, ngoku makhe sibone indlela ubunzima bomntwana obuhlelwa ngayo ngokwexabiso le-BMI kunye namaxabiso ahambelanayo eepesenti. Olu hlu lwenziwa ngokuqwalasela zonke izinto ezimalunga nobudala bomntwana, isini kunye nobude bakhe.

• Ubunzima obungaphantsi kobunzima: Oku kuthetha ukuba i-BMI yomntwana ingaphantsi kwe-5th percentile ngokweminyaka yakhe, isini, nobude. Ngamafutshane, ukuba uthatha abantwana abali-100 abaneminyaka yabo kunye nesini sabo, i-BMI yabo ingaphantsi kwama-95 kubo. Ngamaxesha anje, kubalulekile ukuthetha nogqirha wakho kwaye ufumane ingcebiso yesondlo malunga nendlela yokufumana ubunzima.
• Ubunzima obusempilweni: Eli linqanaba esilinqwenelayo sonke. Ukuba i-BMI yomntwana ilingana okanye ingaphezulu kune-5th percentile kwaye ingaphantsi kwe-85th percentile , ithathwa njengobunzima obusempilweni.
• Ukutyeba kakhulu: Ukuba i-BMI yomntwana ikwi-85th percentile okanye ingaphezulu kwayo, kodwa ingaphantsi kwe-95th percentile , iwela kudidi "lokutyeba kakhulu". Oku kuyaxhalabisa kancinci. Kungumbono olungileyo ukuthetha nogqirha wakho ukuze ufumane ingcebiso malunga notshintsho ekufuneka ulwenze kwindlela otya ngayo nendlela ophila ngayo.
• Ukutyeba kakhulu: Ukuba i-BMI yomntwana ikwi -95th percentile okanye ingaphezulu kwayo , uthathwa njengotyebileyo kakhulu. Le yimeko ekufuneka ixoxwe nogqirha kwaye inyangwe njengoko kufuneka. Ukutyeba kakhulu kunokunyusa umngcipheko wokufumana izifo ezingosuleliyo ezifana nesifo seswekile kunye nesifo sentliziyo kwixesha elizayo.

Kutheni kungengombono ulungileyo ukwenza izigqibo ngokusekelwe kwixabiso elinye le-BMI?

Le yingongoma ebaluleke kakhulu. Xa ucinga nge-BMI yomntwana wakho, musa ukwenza izigqibo ezinkulu okanye ukhathazeke ngokungeyomfuneko ngokusekelwe kumlinganiselo omnye.

Nokuba ugqirha ujonga indlela ezi xabiso ze-BMI ezitshintsha ngayo ngokuhamba kwexesha, kunye nokuba yintoni na le nto iqhubekayo . Oko kukuthi, ngaba i-BMI yomntwana iyaqhubeka nokunyuka, ukwehla, okanye ihlala injalo?
