Q

Problem w/ BMI =

A

Assumes r/ship b/w BMI and % body fat remains independent of age, gender, ethnicity & race
Doesn’t consider the body’s proportional composition or fat distribution
Factors other than excess body fat affect the numerator of the BMI equation
The possibility of misclassifying someone as overweight pertains particularly to athletes

Q

Human body comp component model:

A

Two: fat mass, fat-free mass
Three: water, protein, fat
Four: water, protein, bone mineral, fat

24
Q

Methods to assess body comp – direct measurement

A

person dead

  • dissolve body in chemical solution to determine fat and fat-free components
  • physically dissect fat, fat-free adipose tissue, muscle, bone
25
Q

Methods to assess body comp – indirect estimation

A
  • hydrostatic weight using Archimedes’ principle
  • skinfole thickness & girth measurements
  • x-ray and MRI
  • totally body electrical conductivity or bioimpedance
  • near-infrared interactance
  • ultrasound
26
Q

Molecular techniques body comp

A

From body fluids -> isotopic dilution
Dual frequency energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA/DXA scam)
High cost, noninvasive, quick, gold standard

27
Q

Body comp - tissue and organ level

A

-contains 11 systems
-this level groups 4 tissue systems to represent the total body mass
adipose tissue + skeletal muscle + bone + blood
MRI ultrasound

28
Q

Body comp – whole body level

A

Anthrompometric measures – skinfolds, girths, bone diameters, segment lengths, body mass, stature
Segmental and totally body volume
Densitometry -> body density

29
Q

2 component model - The density of fat is…

A

0.901g/cc (cubic cm) *

30
Q

2 component model - The density of FFM…

A

is 1.10g/cc*

31
Q

2 component model – the densities of fat and FFM componets….

A

(water, protein, mineral) are the same for all individuals

32
Q

2 component model – the densities of tissues comprising the FFM are…

A

constant within an individual, and their proportional contribution to the LBM component remains constant

33
Q

2 component model – the individual being measured differs from thereference body only….

A

In the amount of fat. The FFM of the reference body is assumed to be 73.8% water *, 19.4% protein , and 6.8% mineral

34
Q

Siri equation:

A

Percentage body fat = (495 / body density) – 450

35
Q

Siri equation assumes:

A

-two component model of body comp

36
Q

limitations of density assumptions:

A

-values represent avgs, although they vary for populations, racial differences

37
Q

Hydrostatic weighing:

A

when a body immersed in water, it’s buoyed by a counter force equal to the weight of the water displaced
-loss of weight in water, corrected for water density allows for calculation of body volume
take into account air in lungs

38
Q

Bod pod:

A

Subject immersed in a closed air-filled chamber

r/ship of pressure vs volume, at a fixed temp, is used to solve for the volume of the subject chamber

39
Q

Bioelectrical impedance analysis:

A

-measures resistance to electric current to predict body water content, lean body mass, and body fat
-current flows more rapidly through hydrated fat-free body tissue and water than through fat and bone
lower electrical resistance due to greater electrolyte content *
high practicality (fast, noninvasive measure)
affected by hydration*

40
Q

Skinfold measurement:

A

Sum of skin fold is a good measure of subcutaneous adipose tissue
Can be used to estimate totally body fatness
Sum is inversely related to total body mass density and directly related to %BF

41
Q

Skinfold measurement error…

A

Standardized procedures will increase the accuracy and precision of measurements

42
Q

Skinfold measurement sites *

A

Triceps, subscapular, iliac, abdominal, thigh, chest, biceps

A

Vertical fold 1 inch to the right of umbilicus

47
Q

49
Q

Biceps SKF

A

Vertical fold at right upper arm’s midline

50
Q

Girth measurement sites:

A

Right upper arm (biceps), right forearm< abdomen, buttocks, right thigh, right calf

51
Q

Biceps girth site

A

Arm straight and extended in front of the body; measurement taken at midpoint b/w shoulder and elbow

52
Q

Right forearm girth site

A

Max girth with arm extended in front of body

53
Q

Abdomen girth site

A

1 inch above umbilicus

54
Q

buttock girth site

A

max protrusion with heels together

55
Q
