Explanation / Answer

10.

a. False. Because the assessment of the body weight itself is not the assessment of body fat. A person who is over weighing may or may not be having too much fat.

c. False. Because Triceps skin fold can not be measured using a meter stick.

d. False. Because there are more health risks in being obese than being overweight. If body mass increases little more than normal range, then that condition is called, overweight, if it BMI increases more than this range, then it is called obese. Obese people do have more health complications than overweight persons.

b. True. Because "Apple" profile carries more health risks than "Pear" profile. Based on the waist- to -hip -ratio (WHR), the persons' health profiles are termed either apple or pear profile. These values are different for men and women.

For women if WHR is 0.80 or below, then it is "pear", if it is more than 0.80 then it is "apple" profile.

For men, it is considered + or - 0.90 value.

If the person is having apple profile, then the person will be more at the risk of heart problems and other health problems.
