What is the normal standard for visceral fat index

If there is too much visceral fat, the body will become bloated and obese. Therefore, we should also pay attention to understand what the normal standard for visceral fat is. The ideal index is 18.5 to 22.9, and we can make judgments based on these standards.

1. Standards

The traditional adult weight standard is less than 30, but the Asian adult index has recently been changed to 27.5. An Asian adult with a BMI of 23 is considered overweight, while the ideal index is 18.5 to 22.9.

2. Numerical values

Children's BMI values ​​are not applicable only to adults. For growing children, we can also use their BMI values ​​to estimate whether they are overweight. The above BMI calculation formula is also applicable to people aged 2-20, but their overweight and underweight indicators are not determined by a fixed BMI value. This is because children in different regions grow at different rates, and if a fixed value is used, it is easy to make wrong judgments.

3. Many countries and regions conduct height and weight statistics for local children every year. These statistical data can be converted into BMI values, and then the BMI distribution of local children can be calculated. Based on this distribution, local health authorities can calculate the overweight and underweight indicators for local children. Generally speaking, the statistically average BMI value and its standard deviation are used, and then the highest 5% and lowest 5% of its normal distribution are calculated as overweight and underweight indicators. On the other hand, children whose BMI values ​​are in the 85%-95% range of the normal distribution are all at risk of being overweight.

According to the standards set by the World Health Organization, Asians are considered overweight if their BMI (Body Mass Index) is higher than 22.9. Asians and Europeans belong to different races. The WHO standard is not very suitable for Chinese people. Therefore, the Chinese reference standard was formulated:
