Ukuchaza ukukhuluphala nokukhuluphala ezinganeni

Ukukhuluphala kusho ukuba namafutha omzimba amaningi kakhulu. Akufani nokukhuluphala ngokweqile, okusho ukuthi isisindo esikhulu kakhulu. Ukukhuluphala kuya ngokuya kuvame kakhulu ebuntwaneni. Imvamisa, iqala phakathi kweminyaka yobudala emi-5 nengu-6 nasebusheni.

Ochwepheshe bezempilo yezingane bancoma ukuthi izingane zihlolwe ukukhuluphala lapho zineminyaka emibili. Uma kudingeka, kufanele badluliselwe ezinhlelweni zokulawulwa kwesisindo.

Inkomba yesisindo sengane yakho (BMI) ibalwa kusetshenziswa ubude nesisindo. Umhlinzeki wezokunakekelwa kwempilo angasebenzisa i-BMI ukulinganisa ukuthi ingane yakho inamafutha omzimba angakanani.

Ukukala amafutha omzimba nokuhlonza ukukhuluphala ezinganeni kwehlukile kunokukala la kubantu abadala. Ezinganeni:

• Inani lamafutha omzimba liyashintsha ngeminyaka. Ngenxa yalokhu, i-BMI kunzima ukuyihumusha ngesikhathi sokuthomba nezikhathi zokukhula okusheshayo.
• Amantombazane nabafana banamanani ahlukene amafutha omzimba.

Izinga le-BMI elithi ingane ikhuluphele eminyakeni yobudala eyodwa lingaba yinto evamile enganeni eneminyaka ehlukile. Ukunquma ukuthi ngabe ingane ikhuluphele ngokweqile noma ikhuluphele ngokweqile, ochwepheshe baqhathanisa amazinga ezingane ze-BMI aneminyaka yobudala efanayo komunye nomunye. Basebenzisa ishadi elikhethekile ukunquma ukuthi isisindo sengane siphilile noma cha.

• Uma i-BMI yengane ingaphezulu kwama-85% (85 kokungu-100) yezinye izingane ezineminyaka yobudala nobulili bazo, zibhekwa njengengozi yokukhuluphala ngokweqile.
• Uma i-BMI yengane ingaphezulu kuka-95% (95 kokungu-100) yezinye izingane ezineminyaka yobudala nobulili bazo, zithathwa njengokhuluphele ngokweqile noma ezikhuluphele.
