Reflection
on Ameer Salem’s presentation
Date: Wednesday 23rd May 2012
Venue: W007
Time: 1130
Topic: obesity
Introduction: Ameer started his presentation by asking us about the meaning of obesity.
Then he showed a body mass index (BMI); it measures the body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. I did not have any idea about BMI. Then he showed overweight and obesity worldwide, now estimated to involve 1.7 billion people. That study is by Prof. Philip James.
Then he showed reasons and solutions about obesity and discussed all points in a comfortable manner.
He asked and answered questions confidently.
Both body language and eye contact were confident.
Both body language and eye contact were confident.
New things which I learnt:
Now I know if anyone is obese by using the body mass index.
People who
are overweight, are exposed to many diseases easily.
Overweight
and obesity worldwide now is estimated to involve 1.7 billion people.
