less muscle/bone mass


Health Risks Associated with High and Low BMI - ANSWER ✔✔High

BMI Risk:

2. morbid obesity- very high risk of increased health problems; 5 of the 9

causes of death in the US are associated




Low BMI Risk:

1. underweight- increased risk of health problems (infections)


Methods to Determine Percent Body Fat and Accuracy - ANSWER

✔✔1. Densitometry- underwater weighing (most accurate)


2. Anthropometry- measurement of skinfold thickness using skinfold

calipers or body circumference (least accurate)

3. Conductivity- bioelectric impedance (least invasive and fairly

accurate)

, 4. Dual-energy X-ray Absorption (DXA)- developed to measure bone

mineral content and density (very accurate)

5. Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA/DEXA)- uses low x-rays to

differentiate among bone tissue, lean tissue and adipose tissue

6. Bod Pod- air displacement


Diseases Associated with Obesity - ANSWER ✔✔1. <2% of all cases

are traced to diseases such as:

- decreased thyroid function

- Cushing's disease

- Hormonal imbalances

- Decreased metabolic rate


Fat Distribution Patterns and Risk of Chronic Disease - ANSWER

✔✔- measured by waist-to-hip ratio and waist circumference


1. Apple-shaped fat patterning- upper body

- men tend to store fat abdominally

- increased risk of chronic diseases

2. Pear-shaped fat patterning- lower body

- no significant increased risk for chronic diseases
