Question

claudia wants to measure her body composition. how will she most accurately complete this measurement?
(1 point)
○ she will compare her height to her waist circumference.
○ she will compare the fat mass to the non - fat mass in her body.
○ she will compare her weight to the weight of people her same age.
○ she will compare the amount of weight she lifts to her own body weight.

Explanation:

To measure body composition accurately, we analyze each option:

• Comparing height to waist circumference doesn't directly measure body composition.
• Body composition is about the ratio of fat mass (like adipose tissue) to non - fat mass (such as muscle, bone, organs). So comparing fat mass to non - fat mass is the correct way to measure body composition.
• Comparing weight to others of the same age is a comparison of overall weight, not body composition.
• Comparing weight lifted to own body weight is related to strength - to - weight ratio, not body composition.

Answer:

B. She will compare the fat mass to the non - fat mass in her body.
