Question 10 • Contemporary Health

Which would be a measure in determining body composition?

Answer
A
the percentage of sugar consumed
B
amount of water excreted a day
C
the percentage of fat in the body
D
amount of protein consumed

Explanation

Body composition describes the proportions of different tissues and substances in the body, such as fat and lean mass. The percentage of fat in the body directly measures one part of that composition. Protein consumed, water excreted, and sugar consumed are intake or output amounts, not measures of body composition.
