Expert Software for the Determination of Juvenile People's Obesity
Abstract
Keeping the health condition at the juvenile population is the concern of both the medical staff and the physical education teachers. Considering the steady tendency of the growth of the number of the youth with excessive weight (overweighted or obese) the intervention to combat this phenomenon must be initiated in the early stage when this condition occurs. The screening method for evaluating the body weight presented in this study uses a calculus program through which, based on the input data (age, sex, weight the width of the skin fold) an evaluation regarding each juvenile's weight and the body structure can be done. This program can be used in schools, high schools, universities, to signal the weight excess and to appreciate the intervention results for getting a normal weight.
