Question

Calculate the ideal weight and the weight range for a woman who is 5 feet, 7 inches tall. Calculate the BMI of a woman who’s 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds. Would you classify this person as normal, overweight, or obese? List three physical tests used to determine a person’s body composition. What you weigh isn’t as important as the ratio of _______ to _______. A person who is _______ is 15 to 20 percent below ideal body weight. A person who is overweight is _______ to _______ percent over his or her ideal body weight. When a person is carrying around excess fat to the point that it’s life-threatening, or when a person is over 100 percent of his or her ideal body weight, he or she is considered to be _______ obese. _______ is a method of measuring body mass index that uses electrodes placed on the ankles and wrists.

Answer 1

The BMI for a person who is 5'4 and 160 pounds would be considered overweight. 

the ideal bmi for a 5'7 person would be 19-24.
17-30% is ideal body fat for adult. women and 11-20% for adult men.
- a person who is UNDERWEIGHT is 15-20% below ideal body weight.

-bioelectrical impedence analysis is a method of measuring BMI that uses electrodes on ankles and wrists.

Answer 2

1. To calculate a woman’s ideal weight, start with 100 pounds for the first 5 feet of height
and add 5 pounds for each additional inch of height. An ideal range is within 10 percent of that weight. Therefore, Ideal weight = 135 pounds; ideal range = 121.5 to 148.5 pounds
2.  (1) Divide 160 by 64. Answer = 2.5 (2) Divide 2.5 by 64. Answer = .039 (3) Multiply 039 by 703. Answer = 27.4. BMI is 27.4. This person would be considered overweight, not obese.
3. Water displacement, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and air displacement
4. muscle, fat
5. underweight
6.  10, 20
7.morbidly
8.Biolectrical impedance analysis (BIA)
