Quiz 1 Flashcards
Your client body weight is 220 lbs and height is 6ft 1”. What is his body mass index
220 / 2.2 = 100 kg
(12 inch x 2.54) x 6 +2.54 = 185 / 100 = 1.85 m
100 / 1.85 ^2 = 29.2
How does this BMI classify the level of fatness/obesity from above result (29.2)
Overweight = 25 - 29.9
To measure a circumference of arm (biceps) the main anatomical references to look at are
Acromion process of scapula and olecranon process of ulna
You are using a one girth method to predict % body fat. If your client is a women, which information is required
Hip circumference (inches) Height (inches)
Function of fat is to
Store vitamin D
Store energy
Protect cells
Anthropometry lab _____ body composition by ______ body density and ______ % body fat
Assesses Body composition
Calculating body density
Estimating % body fat
Anthropometric measures use three component model to assess body composition
False
Bony breadth on knee is measured with client sitting and knee flexed to 90 degrees, and apply caliper blades firmly on lateral and medial femoral epicondyles
True
The anatomical reference for bi trochanteric site for bony breadth measurement is greater trochanter of femur, with client standing, arms are folded across the chest and the anthropometer blades are firmly applied at a 45 degree downward angle
False
If you know your anthropometric measures such as body age/weight/height, diameter measure of biiliac region, circumference measures from abdomen, lower abdomen, hip and knee, you can predict our percent body fat regardless of sex
True
Essential fat is the type of fat necessary to sustain life, it is stored inside and between muscle fibres
False
Using IDXA from lab, we can identify the android and or gynoid type of body fat distribution
True
DXA technology is based on the principle that the attenuation or weakening of xray energies varies based on the type of tissue
True
One of the assumptions of DXA for whole body composition is that the hydration and electrolyte content of lean tissue mass is constant
True
