Abstract
Treating obesity in preschool children is necessary in order to prevent arteriosclerosis. Body mass index (BMI) is used to evaluate obesity in children, but it may be inaccurate. This study aimed to examine the physique index in order to easily judge the obesity of preschool children. After determining 22 physique indexes, the x2 test was examined by 50 people. Furthermore, 300 people examined the accuracy of 19 physique indexes reselected with the x2 test. Nine physique indexes were ultimately selected to be effective for accurately judging the obesity of preschool children.
