Question

question 10 (3 points)
listen
which method of measuring weight involves comparing a persons weight and height?
chest circumference
body fat analysis
body mass index (bmi)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Body mass index (BMI) is calculated using the formula \(BMI=\frac{weight\ (kg)}{height\ (m)^2}\), which clearly involves comparing a person's weight and height. Chest circumference measures the circumference of the chest and has no relation to height - weight comparison. Body fat analysis methods like skinfold calipers or bio - electrical impedance analyze body fat percentage and do not directly use the ratio of weight to height in the way BMI does.

Answer:

body mass index (BMI)
