Who definitions (cid:862)o(cid:448)er(cid:449)eight a(cid:374)d o(cid:271)esit(cid:455) are defi(cid:374)ed as a(cid:271)(cid:374)or(cid:373)al or e(cid:454)(cid:272)essi(cid:448)e fat a(cid:272)(cid:272)u(cid:373)ulatio(cid:374) that (cid:373)a(cid:455) i(cid:373)pair health. (cid:863: already talking about how it is going to affect out health in an adverse way based on the definition. Waist circumference and waist-to-hip: measures of abdominal obesity, apple (abs have more fat) vs. pear shape (legs/but/hips have more fat, measurement issues. Skinfold thickness: bioelectrical impedance scale, inaccurate, dual energy x ray absorptiometry (dexa) scanner that looks like xray machine, densitometry (hydrostatic weighing, air displacement) with water or air. ^^ going to matter who does it, all of these measures useful when repeated over time (cid:862)this is (cid:374)ot to suggest that o(cid:271)esit(cid:455) is si(cid:373)pl(cid:455) a (cid:373)atter of poor (cid:449)illpo(cid:449)er leadi(cid:374)g to glutto(cid:374)(cid:455) a(cid:374)d lazi(cid:374)ess. The situatio(cid:374) is more complex than this and some of the factors that determine energy intake and energy expenditure appear to be outside of our (cid:272)o(cid:374)s(cid:272)ious (cid:272)o(cid:374)trol.
