Tricep skin fold measurement is based on two assumptions. Choose the incorrect assumption below. Select one: a. thickness of subcutaneous adipose reflects a fluctuating proportion of the total body fat b. one site measurement cannot be used to determine total body fat, but can be useful in making comparisons to reference data c. thickness of subcutaneous adipose reflects a constant proportion of the total body fat d. the skin fold sites selected for measurement, either singly or in combination, represent the average thickness of the entire subcutaneous adipose tissue

The relationship between the body mass index (mass) and the thickness of skin folds around the triceps (triceps) in mm is studied among women of Pima Indian heritage by using a least squares regression. The following linear model is obtained: Triceps = - 4.8753 + 0.7943 mass. What is the predicted thickness of skin fold around the triceps given a body mass index of 39.6? (please round your answer to 2 decimal figures.) a. 23.40 mm b. 26.58 mm c. 28.17 mm d. 21.81 mm e. 24.99 mm

When using anthropometric measurements to assess body composition, potential sources of error include all of the following EXCEPT: a. Inaccurate location of anatomical landmarks b. Use of anthropometric measuring tools that are not properly calibrated or marked. c. Improper measurement technique d. Selection of the wrong anthropometric equation. e. Failure to measure skinfolds on both the right and left sides of the body.
