Question

cameron learned that carrying more weight around the middle could put you at risk for certain conditions. she wants to use a body composition method to determine her body composition and also wants to know about weight distribution. which method would be best to determine all she needs to know? a. body mass index because it compares you to others b. waist to hip ratio because it is not specific but helps determine weight distribution c an mri because it uses high speed electrical signals and body mass to determine body composition d. skin fold measurement because the calipers give you an exact calculation of how much fat is located in each area of the body please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

Body mass index (BMI) only gives a general idea of body - fatness relative to others and doesn't focus on weight distribution. Waist - to - hip ratio helps determine weight distribution around the middle. MRI doesn't use high - speed electrical signals and body mass to determine body composition in the way described. Skin - fold measurements focus on fat in specific areas but not overall weight distribution as well as waist - to - hip ratio does for the middle area.

Answer:

B. waist to hip ratio because it is not specific but helps determine weight distribution
