Solution:-

Height = 5ft and 11 inch = 1.8 meter

Weight at now = 182 lb(before month ) - 10 lb = 172 lb
Weight=172 lb = 78 kg
1. BMI
BMI=weight(kg) / {height(m)}*2
BMI=78/(1.8)*2
BMI=24.07

2. IBW and IBW％

IBW =
172 lb 5 ft and 11 in
172-106=66 (5 ft-5) and (11 in ×6)
66 + 66 =132
IBW = 132 lb

IBW％ = (Current weight lb /IBW)×100％

IBW％ = (172/132)×100％
IBW％ = 130.3％

3. Percent weight change:

Percent weight change = (weight changes/weight)×100％

Percent weight change = (10/182)×100％= 5.4％

Percent weight change= 5.4％

4. Ali weight considered healthy weight according to his BMI=24.07 (18.5-24.9 is healthy weight)

5. Leukemia have some symptoms, like night sweats, fever, fatigue and itchiness, often resemble
flu-like symptoms and loss of appetite, weight loss. So it may place him in nutritional risk.

6. Another criteria that would help to determine level of risk other than BMI and IBW :

Anthropometric measurements are triceps skin-fold thickness (TST), mid-arm circumference

(MAC).

biochemical tests revealed :

 high white blood cell count.

 low platelets.
 low hemoglobin.
 Serum albumin, Serum calcium and Serum Cholesterol.

Clinical data are Swollen glands of neck and cheek, loss of appetite, odema and fatigue suggest a
nutritional risk.
