VERIFIED FOR GUARANTEED PASS.
What is Body Mass Index? - ANS Expresses the ratio of a person's weight to their height
Underweight - ANS BMI of <18.5
Normal - ANS BMI 18.5-24.9
Overweight - ANS BMI 25-29.9
Obese - ANS BMI 30-39
Morbid obesity - ANS BMI of >40
Health risks with Underweight - ANS Increases the risk of infections and illness
Health risks with Overweight - ANS High BP, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, sleep disorders
Health risks with Obesity and Morbid Obesity - ANS Hypertension, Dyslipidemia, type 2
diabetes, Heart disease and stroke, Gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, certain

, cancers: colon, breast, endometrial, and gallbladder, Gestational diabetes, premature fetal
deaths, neural tube defects, and complications during labor and delivery, Depression
Limitations of BMI - ANS it may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a
muscular build (the rock), It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have
less muscle mass
What are the different ways to evaluate body weight? - ANS Densitometry, Anthropometry,
Conductivity, DEXA, Bod Pod, Skinfold Measurements, Tanita
Which body weight evaluation way is the most effective? - ANS Densitometry (underwater
weighing)
Which body weight evaluation way is the least effective? - ANS Skinfold Measurements
What is the Fat Distribution Pattern? - ANS Measured by waist to hip ratio and waist
circumference:
Apple-Shaped fat patterning -upper body
Pear-shaped fat patterning -lower body
Which fat distribution pattern has increased health risks? - ANS Apple shaped fat patterning
What is the Basal Metabolic Rate? - ANS Energy expended to maintain basal, or resting,
functions of the body.
How does BMR increase? - ANS more lean body mass, during stress, and periods of growth
(childhood and pregnancy)
How does BMR decrease? - ANS older age and during energy restriction (fasting or
starvation)
