Caution is to be used when calculating BMI as well as weight tables because BMI cannot distinguish how much weight ___ contributes to the total weight of the individual.HINT... it is three letters
Correct Answer
fat
FATExplanation
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement that calculates the ratio of weight to height in order to determine if a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. However, BMI alone cannot distinguish between different components of weight, such as fat, muscle, or bone density. This means that BMI cannot determine how much fat specifically contributes to a person's total weight. Therefore, caution should be exercised when using BMI or weight tables as they may not accurately reflect an individual's body composition.Rate this question:
- 46.
A BMI of __ or greater is considered obese?This is a number...
Correct Answer
30Explanation
A BMI of 30 or greater is considered obese. BMI stands for Body Mass Index, which is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. A BMI of 30 indicates that a person's weight is significantly higher than what is considered healthy for their height. Obesity is a medical condition characterized by excessive body fat and is associated with various health risks such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Therefore, a BMI of 30 or greater is considered obese.Rate this question:
