00:00:05.027 --> 00:00:08.994
The people we looked at were two young ladies.

00:00:09.211 --> 00:00:11.721
Quite different in shape and size.

00:00:11.735 --> 00:00:14.060
One fairly petite, the other one very tall.

00:00:14.092 --> 00:00:18.564
Interestingly similar results when it 
comes to their body fat percentages.

00:00:18.667 --> 00:00:23.140
So, Debbie for example, was 178 cm tall,

00:00:23.156 --> 00:00:24.671
which is really quite tall for a girl.

00:00:25.084 --> 00:00:29.338
She weighed 74.4 kg. 
On the face of it that sounds quite a lot.

00:00:29.388 --> 00:00:32.773
But in fact when you look at her BMI,
it comes out at 23,

00:00:32.797 --> 00:00:35.131
which is absolutely excellent.

00:00:35.154 --> 00:00:38.868
Again, her fat percentage was around 25 percent,
 which is good.

00:00:38.918 --> 00:00:41.718
And her waist to hip ratio, again was normal.

00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:45.486
And then we had Roseanne who's a quite a petite girl,

00:00:45.486 --> 00:00:50.682
165 cm tall, weighs only 61.5 kg.

00:00:51.055 --> 00:00:55.807
But has exactly the same BMI of 23. 
And looking at the two girls together,

00:00:55.857 --> 00:00:57.581
you wouldn't have thought that they were

00:00:57.581 --> 00:00:59.692
going to come out with exactly the same figure.

00:00:59.692 --> 00:01:04.164
And again her body fat percentage,
 just under 25 percent mark.

00:01:04.482 --> 00:01:07.019
And a very similar waist to hip ratio.

00:01:09.905 --> 00:01:12.064
Then if we come on to the two chaps,

00:01:12.127 --> 00:01:15.663
they look very different and their results are very different.

00:01:16.352 --> 00:01:19.481
The first bloke we looked at, Clifton, 
he's quite small,

00:01:19.493 --> 00:01:27.266
but very very muscular, 1.7 metres tall, and he weighed 70.7 kg.

00:01:27.313 --> 00:01:30.437
And his BMI actually works out to 24, which is

00:01:30.468 --> 00:01:33.348
a bit more than our ladies that we looked at.

00:01:33.398 --> 00:01:36.131
And almost tipping up towards the overweight mark.

00:01:36.131 --> 00:01:38.951
Whereas clearly looking at his body there was not a lot

00:01:38.951 --> 00:01:40.855
of spare fat on him anywhere.

00:01:40.895 --> 00:01:45.082
So when you measure his body fat percentage 
it's actually only 14,8,

00:01:45.090 --> 00:01:48.547
which is almost at professional athlete type levels.

00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.766
We had a waist to hip ratio of 0.77 which is well under

00:01:53.816 --> 00:01:56.315
the limit of 0.9 for a bloke.

00:01:56.363 --> 00:02:03.466
Whereas Chris, the second bloke that 
we looked at, very tall, 195 cm,

00:02:03.466 --> 00:02:06.470
But heavy. He weighed twice as much as Clifton did.

00:02:06.470 --> 00:02:12.310
143.1 kg, so his BMI was actually 37.6.

00:02:12.937 --> 00:02:18.967
It's not just into the obese range, 
it's heading into the morbidly obese range.

00:02:20.029 --> 00:02:24.847
 His body fat percentage, however, was 34.7 percent.

00:02:24.897 --> 00:02:27.783
Which is perhaps not as worrying on the face of it

00:02:27.807 --> 00:02:29.251
 I think that, again, reflects the fact that

00:02:29.301 --> 00:02:31.800
he's a very big chap, so you would expect him

00:02:31.850 --> 00:02:33.096
to be fairly heavy anyway.

00:02:33.176 --> 00:02:38.943
However his waist was 120 cm 
and his hips were only 123 cm.

00:02:39.260 --> 00:02:43.284
So his waist to hip ratio is 0.97.

00:02:43.308 --> 00:02:45.436
So that's really quite high for a bloke.
