Abstract
Body mass index (BMI) correlates with several anthropometric variables associated with overweight during different ages in childhood, however certain anthropometric variables contribute most to variation in childhood BMI. When viewing standard deviations, the following BMI data are taken into account: height (H), sitting height (SH), waist circumference (WC), waist to height ratio (WHtR), waist to sitting height ratio (WSHtR), the subscapular skinfold (SSF) and the triceps skinfold (TSF). Most often, age group contributes to a greater extent than gender to variation in BMI with a score of standard deviation (SDS). The aim of the scientific paper is to analyse the corelation between BMI and anthropometric variables associated with overweight. In the paper, an analysis of secondary data of a group of respondents was carried out, in order to see the degree of accuracy of BMI in predicting overweight and obesity. According the methodology obtained for the analysis and interpretation of the data, the method of comparison, the method of specification and the method of synthesis and generalization are being used. The main results of the research frame are pointing out that the annual increases in BMI relate to a greater extent to lean muscle mass than to fat mass, however, there are variations in relation to gender and age.
