ponderal การใช้

The French manufacturer of fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine _ marketed in France as Isomeride and Ponderal respectively _ also has pulled the drugs off the market.
The Bureau of Foods and Drugs advised drug stores to stop selling fenfluramine, known under the brand name Ponderal, and dexfenfluramine, sold under the brand name Adifax.
Nick Korevaar ( a mathematics lecturer from the University of Utah ) suggests that instead of squaring the body height ( as the BMI does ) or cubing the body height ( as the Ponderal index does ), it would be more appropriate to use an exponent of between 2.3 and 2.7 ( as originally noted by Quetelet ) . ( For a theoretical basis for such values see MacKay . ) Carl Lavie has written that, " The B . M . I . tables are excellent for identifying obesity and body fat in large populations, but they are far less reliable for determining fatness in individuals ."
