ATHROPOMETRIC DATA
Anthropometric Measurements
Height
Weight
Head circumference (children)
Upper arm measurement
Skinfold
HOW TO MEASURE WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE

waits circumference measurement for men that has a risk factor for disease
> 40 for men
waits circumference measurement for women that has a risk factor for disease
> 35
measures SUBCUTANEOUS FAT storages and is an index of TOTAL BODY FATS.
SKIN FOLD THICKNESS
what tool is sed for measuring skin fold thickness
CALIPERS
normal measurement of skin fold thickness for men

normal measurement of skin fold thickness for women
14.9mm
measures MUSCLE MASS and subcutaneous fat
MID UPPER ARM CIRCUMFERENCE (MUAC)
measure INDEX OF MUSCLE MASS and indicates SOMATIC PROTEIN STORES
MID ARM AND MUSCLE CIRCUMFERENCE (MAMC)
what measurement both measures caloric status or energy reserves
MID UPPER ARM CIRCUMFERENCE (MUAC) and MID ARM AND MUSCLE CIRCUMFERENCE (MAMC)
ideal body weight
DESIRABLE BODY WEIGHT
health weight
DESIRABLE BODY WEIGHT (DBW)
indicates a person’s body composition has a GOOD BALANCE of lean body mass and fat tissue
DBW
used in ASSESSING NUTRITIONAL STTAUS especially in detecting protein-energy malnutrition
DBW
how to compute for DBW
- convert height into centimeters
- minus 100
- minus 10% for Filipino
is the measure of BODY FAT BASED ON HEIGHT AND WEIGHT that applies to both adult men and women
BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)
TRUE OR FALSE:
BMI does not differentiate between body fat and muscle mass
TRUE
FORMULA FOR BMI
actual body weight (kg) / height (m2)
*note: bawal iround off ang answer
*if hindi meters ang given, edi converts to meters.
ft x 12 = ans + in = ans x 2.54 = ans ÷ 100 = ans (round off)
