Question

1. anthropometric measurements used to measure growth in young children include all of the following except:

length
weight
weight/length
hip measurement
all of the above are included.

1. a 50-year-old woman has the same calcium needs as an 17-year-old woman.

true
false

1. the fat composition of human milk does not change during each feeding.

true
false

Explanation:

1. Anthropometric growth measurements for young children typically include length, weight, and weight/length ratio; hip measurement is not a standard growth metric.
2. A 50-year-old woman (postmenopausal, higher bone loss risk) has higher calcium needs (~1200 mg/day) than a 17-year-old woman (~1300 mg/day for adolescents, but needs differ by life stage).
3. Human milk fat content increases during feeding: foremilk has lower fat, hindmilk has higher fat to meet infant energy needs.

Answer:

1. Hip measurement
2. False
3. False
