Human body weight/ja

人間の体重とは、人の質量または体重のことである。

厳密に言えば、体重は身につけているアイテムを含まない状態での重さの測定である。実際には、体重は衣服を着用した状態で測定されることがあるが、靴や携帯電話、財布などの重いアクセサリーを除いて手動またはデジタルの体重計を使用する。過剰または減少した体重は、個人の健康を判断する指標と見なされ、体積の測定は体重の分布を計算することで追加の次元を提供する。

成人の平均体重は大陸によって異なり、アジアとアフリカの約60 kg (130 lb)から北米の約80 kg (180 lb)まで、平均して男性の方が女性よりも重い。

子供における推定

実際の体重を測定できない場合（緊急時など）に子どもの体重を推定する方法はいくつかある。そのほとんどは、親や医療提供者が体重推定式を使って子どもの体重を推測するものである。これらの計算式は、子どもの年齢とテープベースの体重推定システムに基づいている。体重推定に使用されてきた多くの公式の中には、Advanced Pediatric Life Support公式、レフラー公式、セロン公式などがある。子どもの体重を推定するためのテープベースのシステムも数種類あり、最もよく知られているのはBroselowテープである。Broselowテープは長さに基づいており、適切な色の部分から体重を読み取る。PAWPERテープのような新しいシステムは、体重を推定するために単純な2段階のプロセスを利用している：長さに基づく体重推定は、最終的な体重予測の精度を高めるために、子どもの体の習慣に応じて修正される。

レフラー式は0～10歳児に使用される。 生後1年未満の場合は、以下のようになる。

$m=\frac{1}{2}{a}_m+4$

そして、1歳から10歳までは以下の通りである。

$m=2a_y+10$

ここで、mは子どもの体重のキログラム数、a_mとa_yはそれぞれ子どもの月齢または年齢を表す。

セロンの公式は次の通りである。

$m=e^{0.175571a_y+2.197099}$

ここでmとa_yは上記の通りである。

変動

体内の水分量は一定ではないため、体重は1日のうちで少しずつ変化する。飲酒、排尿、運動などの活動によって変化する。プロのスポーツ選手は、ウエイトカットとして知られるように、わざと脱水を行い、体重の少ない階級に入ることがある。

Ideal body weight

Ideal body weight (IBW) was initially introduced by Ben J. Devine in 1974 to allow estimation of drug clearances in obese patients; researchers have since shown that the metabolism of certain drugs relates more to IBW than total body weight. The term was based on the use of insurance data that demonstrated the relative mortality for males and females according to different height-weight combinations.

The most common estimation of IBW is by the Devine formula; other models exist and have been noted to give similar results. Other methods used in estimating the ideal body weight are body mass index and the Hamwi method. The IBW is not the perfect fat measurement, as it does not show the fat or muscle percentage in one's body. For example, athletes' results may show that they are overweight when they are actually very fit and healthy. Machines like the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry can accurately measure the percentage and weight of fat, muscle, and bone in a body.

Devine formula

The Devine formula for calculating ideal body weight in adults is as follows:

• Male ideal body weight = 50 kilograms (110 lb) + 0.9 kilograms (2.0 lb) × (height (cm) − 152)
• Female ideal body weight = 45.5 kilograms (100 lb) + 0.9 kilograms (2.0 lb) × (height (cm) − 152)

Hamwi method

The Hamwi method is used to calculate the ideal body weight of the general adult:

• Male ideal body weight = 48 kilograms (106 lb) + 1.1 kilograms (2.4 lb) × (height (cm) − 152)
• Female ideal body weight = 45.4 kilograms (100 lb) + 0.9 kilograms (2.0 lb) × (height (cm) − 152)

Usage

Sports

Participants in sports such as boxing, mixed martial arts, wrestling, rowing, judo, sambo, Olympic weightlifting, and powerlifting are classified according to their body weight, measured in units of mass such as pounds or kilograms. See, e.g., wrestling weight classes, boxing weight classes, judo at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and boxing at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

Medicine

Ideal body weight, specifically the Devine formula, is used clinically for multiple reasons, most commonly in estimating renal function in drug dosing, and predicting pharmacokinetics in morbidly obese patients.
