Abstract

A graphical method to determine the anthropometric levels that's are lean, slightly lean, normal, slightly obese, obese by BMI, Broca and Rohrer indices was developed. On the graph of height vs. weight, regions corresponding to the anthropometric levels were separated by equations calculated with boundary conditions for BMI, Broca and Rohrer indices, respectivelyl. It was observed that the determinations of the anthropometric level was influenced by the weight to a larger extent than the hight, which magnitude was in the order of BMI>Broca>Rohrer. There appeared significant differences between the results of the anthropometric level for higher and weight by BMI, Broca and Rohrer indices, respectively. Conclusively, the graphical method was proved as a good means to analyze and compare the anthropometric levels from BMI, Broca and Rohrer indices.
