KIN 485: Exam 1
Bioelectrical Impedance (BIA)
An imperceptible electric current (~500 uAMPs at > 50kHz) is sent through the body. The electrical signal is detected by electrodes at a distal point. The speed of electrical conduction is directly related to the amount and type of body tissue. This method is based on the assumption that lean tissue facilitates electrical conduction, while fat tissue impedes electrical conduction. (Lean tissue has less impedance (resistance and reactivity) than fat tissue).
Atheroslcerotic CVD Risk Factors: obesity
Body Mass Index (BMI) greater or equal to 30 kg/m2 OR waist girth > 102 cm (40 in) for men or > 88 cm (35 in) for women

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI requires clients to lie still in a magnetic chamber. Electromagnetic radiation excites the hydrogen nuclei of water and lipid molecules in the presence of a magnetic field. The water and lipid molecules emit defined, detectable signals that are measured as multiple high-quality images (10mm thickness at 50mm intervals) from head to toe. MRI is safe (no ionizing radiation is used), requires little client preparation and takes ~30 minutes.

Myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization or sudden death before 55 years of age in father or other male first degree relative or before 65 years of age in mother or other female first degree relative
Near-Infrared Light Interactance (NIR)
NIR has been used by the USDA to measure protein, fat and water contents of agricultural products. This method was introduced in the 1980s for body composition assessment. The most common NIR device, the FUTREX - 5000, emits a near-infrared light at two frequencies (938nm and 948nm) into the biceps area of the client's dominant arm. At these frequencies, body fat absorbs the light, while lean tissue reflects the light. Body fat and FFM is estimated from the amount of light emitted and reflected. NIR systematically underestimates %FAT by as much as 2 - 10%, especially in obese clients.

Not participating in at least 30 min of moderate intensity physical activity (40%-59% VO2R) on at least 3 d of the week for at least 3 months
height and weight tables
Provides weight data based on height. Ideal weight ranges are obtained from actuarial tables developed to identify individuals at increased risk for all-cause morbidity and mortality. Assumes that all excess weight is "fat weight", which increases the health risk of the individual.
Atheroslcerotic CVD Risk Factors: Hypertension
SBP greater or equal to 140 mmHg and/or DBP greater or equal to 90 mmHg confirmed on at least 2 separate occasions OR on antihypertensive medications
Total Body Electrical Conductivity (TOBEC)
The TOBEC machine consists of a cylinder, open at both ends, that generates a very weak magnetic field produced with electric energy. As the client passes through the cylinder, the strength of the magnetic field is altered in relation to the electrolytes found in the body water.
Our measurement of under water body weight, and ultimately, our estimate of body density can be influenced by:
The client's comfort in the water The client's hydration status GI and bladder contents Residual volume estimate Gastrointestinal air estimate Assumption of tissue densities (1.1 for lean tissue, 0.9 for adipose tissue, relative to water)
Hydrodensitometry (Underwater Weighing)
The underwater weighing procedure is based on "Archimedes' Principle of Displacement", which states, "An object submerged in water is buoyed up by the weight of the water it displaces". Bone and muscle tissue are denser than water, whereas fat tissue is less dense.
