[Computer-automated calculation of allowed human body weight].
A body weight (BW) classification has been proposed. It has been used in a PC program which compared BW of the patient with the current international criteria for "optimal" and "normal" BW depending on the sex, age, height, complexion, and estimated the level of obesity. The program has been tested on a group of students. The studies demonstrated that most men and women had average BW. Excessive BW was found in 29% women and 5% men. Besides, fat women are psychologically predisposed to have excessive BW, and thin ones, insufficient BW. The complexion of the patient significantly influences the allowed BW.
