Pediatrics

Pediatricians are doctors who care for children from birth to early adulthood. They specialize in diseases and ailments specific to young and growing bodies. Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. The age limit of such patients ranges from birth to 18. A medical practitioner who specializes in this area is known as a pediatrician. Pediatrics differs from adult medicine in many respects. The obvious body size differences are paralleled by maturational changes. The smaller body of an infant or neonate is substantially different physiologically from that of an adult. Congenital defects, genetic variance, and developmental issues are of greater concern to pediatricians than they often are to adult physicians. Treating a child is not like treating a miniature adult. A major difference between pediatrics and adult medicine is that children are minors and, in most jurisdictions, cannot make decisions for themselves. The issues of guardianship, privacy, legal responsibility and informed consent must always be considered in every pediatric procedure. In a sense, pediatricians often have to treat the parents and sometimes, the family, rather than just the child. Adolescents are in their own legal class, having rights to their own health care decisions in certain circumstances.

Body Mass Index

Body mass index (BMI) is a tool that determines whether the health of a person is at risk due to his or her weight. BMI is a ratio of weight to height. A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is healthy; a BMI of 25 to 29.9 is overweight; and a BMI of 30 or more is obese.
To use the BMI table: Find height in the left-hand column and move across to find weight. The number at the top of the column is the BMI for that height and weight. Pounds have been rounded off.
If a person is overweight, he or she is more likely to develop certain health problems. A person may be able to improve his or her health by losing as little as 10 to 20 pounds. To lose weight and keep it off over time, try to make long term changes in eating and physical activity habits. Choose healthy foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains and low fat meat and dairy products more often. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, such as walking, on most or all days of the week.
