A

Analyzer being used
Client Factors
Technician skill
Environmental factors
FFM prediction equation

17
Q

Anthropometric methods

A

Based on body size and proportions
Assists in classifying disease risk
Methods: Body mass index, circumferences, skeletal size

18
Q

BMI classifications
Underweight
Normal Weight
Overweight
Obeisty
Class 1
2
3

A

Underweight - <18.5
Normal Weight - 18.5-24.9
Overweight - 25.0-29.9
Obeisty
Class 1 - 30.0-34.9
2 - 35.0-39.9
3 - >40

19
Q

Is body comp taken into account with body mass index

A

No

20
Q

Measures of girth
Affected by everything beneath the tape measure
Use anthropometric tape measure to increase accuracy

A

Circumfrences

21
Q

Measure of abdominal adiposity
No standard waist location

A

Waist circumference

22
Q

Navy tape measure method
Mens body fat calculation

A

Abdominal-neck=circumference value

23
Q

Navy tape measure method
Womens body fat calculation

A

Waist+hips-neck=circumference value

24
Q

Sources of measurement error for anthropometric methods

A

Equipment
Technician skill
Client factors

25
Q

How to calculate Waist to hip Ratio

A

Divide waist circumference by your hip circumference

26
Q

Estimates body volume

Requires total body submersion

body density= total mass/body volume

Residual lung volume measurement increases acuracy

A

Hydrostatic weighing
gold standard

27
Q

Proportions of FFM constituents that are assumed constant for everyone in hydrostatic weighing

A

Water - 73.8%
Protein - 19.4%
Mineral - 6.8%

28
Q

based on byles law of pressure volume relationships

A

Air Displacement Plethysmography
Bod Pod

29
Q

Best method to estimate mineral contribution to FFB

A

Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA)
