LAB 7 BODY COMPOSITION CORRECT
100%
It is well documented that the increasing prevalence of ____________ and
________ create significant health issues - ANSWERoverweight and obesity
screening programs asses which body measurments - ANSWERbody weight, body
height, and waist circumference
BMI is a measure of the ratio of what - ANSWERbody weight to height
T or F
Across the population, there are relationships between BMI and disease risk -
ANSWERT
Current BMI standards for adults are divided into ______ categories - ANSWER6
a complex, multifactorial disease involving the interaction of physiological, metabolic,
genetic, social, cultural, and behavioral factors - ANSWERobesity
refers to the makeup of the body - ANSWERbody composition
types of information derived from body composition - ANSWERrisk assessment
individualization of exercise prescriptions
evaluating interventional progress
refers to the measurement of the body - ANSWERAnthropometry
One problem that is associated with BMI - ANSWERthere is no way to determine the
composition of the weight. Therefore, BMI is not an adequate measurement of
disease risk for some individuals (i.e., weight-training individuals).
a valuable measurement to assess central obesity - ANSWERwaist circumference
Fat located in the abdominal region (visceral fat) is associated with a __________
health risk than peripheral fat - ANSWERgreater
which type of fat is an independent risk-predictor when BMI is not markedly
increased. - ANSWERvisceral fat
waist circumference measures - ANSWERabdominal obesity and fat distribution
____________ should be utilized for assessments of obesity and for monitoring the
efficacy of weight-loss program - ANSWERwaist circumference
, why have waist circumference measurements not been widely adopted -
ANSWERdue to questions in standardization
Waist circumference is used in conjunction with _______ to assess health risk -
ANSWERBMI
There are multiple ways to assess body composition, and each method is associated
with its own ______ - ANSWERerror
Because there is no direct in vivo method available to measure the different
components of the body, any body composition technique performed on live humans
is either_____ or __________ - ANSWERindirect or doubly indirect
_______ methods are derived from direct methods involving cadavers -
ANSWERindirect
_________ methods are derived from indirect methods - ANSWERdoubly indirect
As methods become further away from the direct method, there is __________ error
in the estimate - ANSWERgreater
Body composition methods may utilize _________ equations to make estimates. -
ANSWERprediction
_________ equations will be inaccurate if it is applied to individuals who differ in
physical characteristics - ANSWERpopulation-specific
___________ equations are developed from diverse, heterogeneous samples, and
accountfor differences in age, gender, race or ethnicity, and other characteristics -
ANSWERgeneralizable
This laboratory utilizes the _________ to predict percent body fat, which is a
_________ equation - ANSWERSiri equation
generalizable
individuals who are farther away from the average in physical characteristics can be
______ or ________ in terms of body fat percentage using the Siri equation -
ANSWERunder or overestimated
If performed by a professionally trained technician with a quality skinfold caliper,
__________ can assess percent body fat with a standard error of estimate (SEE) of
~3.5% - ANSWERskinfold measurements
skinfold measurements are _______ - why - ANSWERdoubly indirect
the equations to predict body density from skinfolds are based on hydrostatic
weighing, an indirect method that utilizes water displacement to estimate fat mass.
The bone mineral density (BMD) scores you receive from your DEXA scan are
measured as - ANSWERstandard deviations (SD) from the mean (T and Z score)
