Question

BMI is the most specific way to measure body composition.


True

False

Answer 1

False. While BMI (Body Mass Index) is a useful screening tool for categorizing individuals based on weight relative to height, it does not specifically measure body composition. BMI does not differentiate between muscle mass, fat mass, and distribution of fat. Other methods, such as body fat percentage assessments, DEXA scans, or bioelectrical impedance analysis, can provide more specific information about body composition.
