| Title: | Body mass index may overestimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among the Inuit / Guylaine Charbonneau-Roberts, Helga Saudny-Unterberger, Harriet V. Kuhnlein, Grace M. Egeland. |
| Author(s): | Charbonneau-Roberts, Guylaine. Saudny-Unterberger, Helga. Kuhnlein, Harriet V. Egeland, Grace M. |
| Date: | 2005. |
| In: | International Journal of Circumpolar Health. (2005.), Vol. 64(2) (2005) |
| Abstract: | Data confirm Inuit have shorter legs and relatively higher sitting heights than other populations. Use of sitting-height to standing-height ratio in health research could help formulate Inuit-specific BMI screening guidelines. Use of standing height in BMI calculation overestimates overweight and obesity. |
| Notes: | International Journal of Circumpolar Health. Vol. 64(2) :163-169 (2005). |
