How does hydration level affect bioelectrical impedance?
BMI (Quetelet’s Index):
Calculate the BMI (Quetelet’s Index) of your client.
What classification does your client fall under?
Compare BIA BMI, BMI from standing scale, BMI from hand held, and BMI using Quetelet’s Index:
Are there any difference?
Which is a more accurate measurement method? Why?
Compare % of body fat from BIA (Quantum II), hand held, and standing scale.
Are there any difference?
Which is a more accurate measurement method? Why?
What classification does your client fall under?
Based on your result from bioelectric impedance using the Quantum II and Cyprus, calculate the
pounds of fat and pounds of lean mass your client has. (*Hint: 1) weight (lb) of client x % of
fat=pounds of fat 2) body composition consists of two main components: lean mass and fat)
