Understanding 7 Understanding Body Composition PowerPoint ® Lecture Outlines 7 Understanding Body Composition Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Objectives • Define body composition . • Explain why the assessment of body size, shape, and composition is useful. • Explain how to perform assessments of body size, shape, and composition. • Evaluate your personal body weight, size, shape, and composition. • Set goals for a healthy body fat percentage. • Plan for regular monitoring of your body weight, size, shape, and composition. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Body Composition Concepts • Body Composition The relative amounts of lean tissue and fat tissue in your body. • Lean Body Mass Your body’s total amount of lean/fat-free tissue (muscles, bones, skin, organs, body fluids). • Fat Mass Body mass made up of fat tissue. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Body Composition Concepts • Percent Body Fat The percentage of your total weight that is fat tissue (weight of fat divided by total body weight). • Essential Fat Fat necessary for normal body functioning (including in the brain, muscles, nerves, lungs, heart, and digestive and reproductive systems). • Storage Fat Nonessential fat stored in tissue near the body’s surface. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Why Body Size, Shape, and Composition Matter Knowing body composition can help assess health risks. • More people are now overweight or obese. • Estimates of body composition provide useful information for determining disease risks. Evaluating body size and shape can motivate healthy behavior change. • Changes in body size and shape can be more useful measures of progress than body weight. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Body Composition for Men and Women Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. How to Evaluate Body Size and Shape • Calculate your body mass index (BMI). • BMI: A common measurement to assess disease risks. • Understand the limits of BMI: Scores do not differentiate between fat and lean body mass. • Measure your body circumference: Use waist and hip measurements to determine your waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Estimating BMI Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. BMI and Health Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. How to Evaluate Body Size and Shape Identify your body’s patterns of fat distribution. Android Pattern • “Apple” shaped • Excess body fat on upper body and trunk • Associated with greater disease risk Gynoid Pattern • “Pear” shaped • Excess fat mainly on lower body (hips and thighs) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Android and Gynoid Body Fat Distribution Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Assessing Body Composition Skinfold Measurements • Use calipers to measure skinfold thickness. • Accurate assessments require experience and practice. Dual -Energy X -Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) • The “gold standard” for assessing body composition. • Uses low-radiation x-rays to distinguish body components.

A total of 190 participants (18–80 years) were categorized by body fat%, body mass index (BMI) and fat mass index (FMI) to examine the effect of differing obesity criteria on bone characteristics. A subset of 50 healthy-eating middle-to-older aged adults (44–80 years) was randomly selected to examine any added impact of lifestyle and inflammatory profiles. Diet was assessed using a 3-day food diary, bone mineral density (BMD) and content (BMC) by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry in the lumbar, thoracic, (upper and lower) appendicular and pelvic areas. Physical activity was assessed using the Baecke questionnaire, and endocrine profiling was assessed using multiplex luminometry.

  • Role of Body Fat and Body Shape on Judgment of Female Health and Attractiveness: an Evolutionary Perspective
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Psychological Topics 15 (2006), 2, 331-350 Original Scientific Article – UDC 159.9.015.7.072 572.51-055.2 Role of Body Fat and Body Shape on Judgment of Female Health and Attractiveness: An Evolutionary Perspective Devendra Singh University of Texas at Austin Department of Psychology Dorian Singh Oxford University Department of Social Policy and Social Work Abstract The main aim of this paper is to present an evolutionary perspective for why women’s attractiveness is assigned a great importance in practically all human societies. We present the data that the woman’s body shape, or hourglass figure as defined by the size of waist-to-hip-ratio (WHR), reliably conveys information about a woman’s age, fertility, and health and that systematic variation in women’s WHR invokes systematic changes in attractiveness judgment by participants both in Western and non-Western societies. We also present evidence that attractiveness judgments based on the size of WHR are not artifact of body weight reduction. Then we present cross-cultural and historical data which attest to the universal appeal of WHR. We conclude that the current trend of describing attractiveness solely on the basis of body weight presents an incomplete, and perhaps inaccurate, picture of women’s attractiveness. “... the buttocks are full but her waist is narrow ... the one for who[m] the sun shines ...” (From the tomb of Nefertari, the favorite wife of Ramses II, second millennium B.C.E.) “... By her magic powers she assumed the form of a beautiful woman ..

Methods: The literature search was conducted ≥ on MEDLINE database via PubMed, using terms related to body image, weight control and body composition. Inclusion criteria were scientific papers, written in English or Spanish, made on older adults. Exclusion criteria were eating and psychological disorders, low sample size, cancer, severe diseases, physiological disorders other than metabolic syndrome, and bariatric surgery. Results: Fifty-seven studies were included. Only thirteen were conducted exclusively among 55-year-old ≥ adults or performed analysis adjusted by age. Overweight perception was related to spontaneous weight management, which usually concerned dieting and exercising. More men than women showed over-perception of body image. Ethnics showed different satisfaction level with body weight. As age increases, conformism with body shape, as well as expectations concerning body weight decrease. Misperception and dissatisfaction with body weight are risk factors for participating in an unhealthy lifestyle and make it harder to follow a healthier lifestyle.

  • Optimal Cut-Off Values for Anthropometric Measures of Obesity in Screening for Cardiometabolic Disorders in Adults
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Optimal cut‑of values for anthropometric measures of obesity in screening for cardiometabolic disorders in adults Pawel Macek1,2, Malgorzata Biskup1,3, Malgorzata Terek‑Derszniak3, Halina Krol1,5, Jolanta Smok‑Kalwat4, Stanislaw Gozdz1,4 & Marek Zak1* Excessive accumulation of body fat (BF) promotes obesity, whilst posing a signifcant health hazard. There being no agreed, optimal quantifying methods, application of BF variable in clinical practice is not deemed an efective assessment option. The study, involving 4,735 patients (33.6% men), aged 45–64, aimed to identify optimal cut‑of values for anthropometric indicators of obesity to evaluate cardiometabolic risk. A minimum P‑value approach was applied to calculate the cut‑ofs for BF%. Threshold values for body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist‑to‑hip ratio (WHR), and waist‑to‑height (WHTR) ratio, facilitating optimal diferentiation of cardiometabolic risk, were based on BF%, expressed as a binary classifer. The newly estimated cut‑of values for predicting cardiometabolic risk, based on BMI, were lower than the referential obesity thresholds, whereas the threshold values of WC, WHR, and WHTR were higher. Apart from dyslipidemia, the odds of cardiometabolic disorders were higher, when the anthropometric indicators under study exceeded the cut‑of points in both sexes. The proposed cut‑ofs proved instrumental in predicting cardiometabolic risk, whilst highlighting diagnostic and clinical potential of BF%, whereas BMI boasted the highest predictive potential. Cardiometabolic risk also proved signifcantly higher even in the overweight patients. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity entails excessive and life-threatening accumulation of body fat (BF), which poses a signifcant risk factor for cardiometabolic disorders1–5.

  • Know Dieting: Risks and Reasons to Stop
    k"#w & ieting, -isks and -easons to 2top Dieting: Any attempts in the name of weight loss, “healthy eating” or body sculpting to deny your body of the essential, well-balanced nutrients and calories it needs to function to its fullest capacity. The Dieting Mindset: When dissatisfaction with your natural body shape or size leads to a decision to actively change your physical body weight or shape. Dieting has become a national pastime, especially for women. ∗ Americans spend more than $40 billion dollars a year on dieting and diet-related products. That’s roughly equivalent to the amount the U.S. Federal Government spends on education each year. ∗ It is estimated that 40-50% of American women are trying to lose weight at any point in time. ∗ One recent study revealed that 91% of women on a college campus had dieted. 22% dieted “often” or “always.” (Kurth et al., 1995). ∗ Researchers estimate that 40-60% of high school girls are on diets (Sardula et al., 1993; Rosen & Gross, 1987). ∗ Another study found that 46% of 9-11 year olds are sometimes or very often on diets (Gustafson-Larson & Terry, 1992). ∗ And, another researcher discovered that 42% of 1st-3rd grade girls surveyed reported wanting to be thinner (Collins, 1991). The Big Deal About Dieting: What You Should Know ∗ Dieting rarely works. 95% of all dieters regain their lost weight and more within 1 to 5 years. ∗ Dieting can be dangerous: ! “Yo-yo” dieting (repetitive cycles of gaining, losing, & regaining weight) has been shown to have negative health effects, including increased risk of heart disease, long-lasting negative impacts on metabolism, etc.

  • 3D Optical Imaging As a New Tool for the Objective Evaluation of Body Shape Changes After Bariatric Surgery
    Obesity Surgery https://doi.org/10.1007/s11695-020-04408-4 ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS 3D Optical Imaging as a New Tool for the Objective Evaluation of Body Shape Changes After Bariatric Surgery Andreas Kroh1 & Florian Peters2 & Patrick H. Alizai 1 & Sophia Schmitz1 & Frank Hölzle2 & Ulf P. Neumann1,3 & Florian T. Ulmer1,3 & Ali Modabber2 # The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Introduction Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment option for obesity. It results in massive weight loss and improvement of obesity-related diseases. At the same time, it leads to a drastic change in body shape. These body shape changes are mainly measured by two-dimensional measurement methods, such as hip and waist circumference. These measurement methods suffer from significant measurement errors and poor reproducibility. Here, we present a three- dimensional measurement tool of the torso that can provide an objective and reproducible source for the detection of body shape changes after bariatric surgery. Material and Methods In this study, 25 bariatric patients were scanned with Artec EVA®, an optical three-dimensional mobile scanner up to 1 week before and 6 months after surgery. Data were analyzed, and the volume of the torso, the abdominal circumference and distances between specific anatomical landmarks were calculated. The results of the processed three-dimensional measurements were compared with clinical data concerning weight loss and waist circumference. Results The volume of the torso decreased after bariatric surgery. Loss of volume correlated strongly with weight loss 6 months after the operation (r =0.6425,p = 0.0005). Weight loss and three-dimensional processed data correlated better (r =0.6121,p = 0.0011) than weight loss and waist circumference measured with a measuring tape (r =0.3148,p =0.1254).

  • Determination of Body Composition
    Determination of Body Composition Introduction A variety of methods have been developed for assessing body composition, including isotopic determination of total body water, whole body 40K counting, radiography, electrical conductance and impedance, etc. Two of the most common methods of assessing body composition, however, are hydrostatic weighing and determination of skinfold thicknesses. Although we won’t be doing hydrostatic weighing as part of the lab activities, the method is important for you to understand. The hydrostatic or underwater weighing method is based upon the assumption that the body is composed of two components or compartments. The components are fat-free or lean mass (FFM), which is assumed to have a density of 1.10 kg/L, and a fat component, which is assumed to have a density of 0.90 kg/L. The density of the whole body, therefore, will depend upon the relative size of these two components. If the body density is known, it is possible to convert this to a % body fat using the following equation, which was derived by Siri: % fat= (495/body density)-450 Although the concept involved in determining body composition from body density is relatively simple, actually measuring body density can be difficult. By definition, density is the mass of an object divided by its volume (D=M/V). Although it is easy to determine the mass of an object using scales, it is very difficult to determine the volume of an object that has an irregular shape such as the human body. It is possible to measure the volume of the human body by submerging a person in water, and measuring their weight.
