Explanation:

Anthropometric assessments involve measuring physical characteristics of the body to evaluate nutritional status.

• Height and weight are core anthropometric measures used to calculate indices like BMI.
• Skinfold thicknesses estimate body fat stores, a key nutritional marker.
• Body circumferences (e.g., mid-upper arm circumference) reflect muscle and fat mass.
• Food frequency questionnaires are dietary assessments, not anthropometric.
• Hemoglobin levels are a biochemical test for nutrient deficiencies, not anthropometric.

Answer:

• height
• skinfold thicknesses
• body circumferences
• weight
