Why would measurement of waist circumference not be suitable for bertillonage?

Biology
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Anthropometry uses measurements of certain specific body features. Bertillonage was initially a system utilized for the identification of criminals. It measures:

  • height
  • weight
  • skin fold thickness
  • arm span
  • head size
  • other distinct features

Waist circumference would be unsuitable, as this system utilizes BMI.

BMI or body mass index tests the body's fat through a height and weight ratios; the test refers to both adults males and females. BMI ranges contain weights less than 18.5 as below average, varying from 18.5 to 24.9 foraverage, overweight ranging from 25 to 29.9 and obese with a BMI of 30 or higher however BMI has limitations; it often overestimates body fat and athletic measurements.
