Record the following measurements on your SUBJECT: (10) 165 cm 1. a. Height (in cm): ()_165 cm Take the measurement to the nearest 0.1 cm. If your readings fall +2 mm, measure again. b. Average height 165 cm (2 pt) 2. a. Weight (in kg): (0) 62.6 kg 62.5 kg Take the measurement to the nearest 0.1 kg. If your readings fall £200 grams, measure again. b. Average weight_62.55 kg (2 pt) 3. Based on your subject's height and weight, calculate body mass index (BMI, kg/m?) (show calculations and appropriate units): (2 pts) BMI = Weight (kg)/Height (m)2 165 cm = 1.65 m Squared of Height = 165 x 1.65 m2 = 2.72 BMI = 62.55/2.72 = 23 kg/m2 4. Where does your subject's BMI fall per the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute categorizations? Knowing this, what are some drawbacks for BMI interpretations and what might be an alternate assessment method? (2 pts) Normal Weight, there are many drawbacks to BMI interpretation, such as age, sex, ethnicity, and muscle mass because all individual is unique from each other. Other alternative assessment method we can use is the waist-to-height ratio where you compare waist circumference to height, rather than overall weight to height squared because it has been suggested that waist circumference is a proxy for central obesity so they can easily distinguish obesity based on this method.

5. Calculate ideal body weight (IBW) using the Hamwi equation and then calculate % IBW (show calcualtions and appropriate units): (2 pts) % IBW = Actual body weight/1BW x 100 % IBW = Length and Circumfereces: 6. Mid-upper arm length (cm): 34.5 cm (1 pt) 7. a. Mid-upper arm circmference (MUAC, cm): 17.25 cm b. What is the percentile per the NHANES data? (refer to reference cut-offs in the 'NHANES Reference Booklet that is posted in CANVAS) 10 Percentile c. What does MUAC assess (subcutaneous fat and/or muscle tissue?)Subcutaneous fat (2 pts) 8. Waist (cm): 32.5 cm (0.5 pt) 9. Hip (cm): 36 cm (0.5 pt) 10. What is the Waist/Hip ratio and what are the interpretations per the World Health Organization cut-offs? (2 pts) Waist/Hip = Ratio 32.5/36 = 0.90 Skinfolds: 11.a. Triceps (mm): 16 mm () 17 mm Take the measurement to the nearest 0.5 mm. If your readings fall + 1 mm, measure again b. Average triceps 15.5 mm c. What is the percentile per the NHANES data? (refer to reference cut-offs in the 'NHANES Reference Booklet that is posted in CANVAS) 10 Percentile d. What does the triceps skinfold assess (subcutaneous fat and/or muscle tissue?) Muscle tissue (2 pts)

12. a. Subscapular (mm): (1) 22 mm (ii) 22 mm 2. NUFD 121: Nutrition Assessment Take the measurement to the nearest 0.5 mm. If your readings fall +1 mm, measure again. b. Average subscapular 19.0 to 27.9 mm c. What is the percentile per the NHANES data? (refer to reference cut-offs in the 'NHANES Reference Booklet that is posted in CANVAS) 97th Percentile d. What does the subscapular skinfold assess (subcutaneous fat and/or muscle tissue?) Muscle tissue (2 pts)
