Problem: In Powers & Dodd (2020) Chapter 6. There are methods for evaluating body weight and methods for evaluating body composition. Most physicians only evaluate body weight and then make recommendations for weight loss to their 'overweight' patients. Describe which method discussed in Chapter 6 your physician uses to evaluate you. Do you agree with this assessment practice? Consider the following statement: Body mass index (BMI) and height-weight charts are poor criterion for determining weight loss needs. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Provide an explanation regarding your position. Have you ever had your body composition assessed? If so how? Provide an argument you could make to your physician as to why it would be more helpful to have a body composition assessment as part of your physical vs. a body weight assessment.
