H. Anthropometric Measurements
1. Skinfold Thickness
Measurement Findings:
o Biceps Skinfold- 4cm – 1.5 inch
o Triceps Skinfold – 7cm - 2.8 inch
o Subscapular Skinfold – 5cm – 2 inch
o Iliac – 10cm – 4 inch
Interpretation:
The interviewer did not have a skinfold caliper, so she used a tape measure to determine
the patient's body fat composition but it still not applicable to use it in examining skinfold
thickness, but as you can see from the findings, the clients fat composition is still visible
even though the interviewer uses a tape measure.

GORDON COLLEGE
College of Allied Health Studies
www.gordoncollege.edu.ph
Analysis:
A skinfold caliper is used to assess the skinfold thickness, so that a prediction of the total
amount of body fat can be made. This method is based on the hypothesis that the body fat
is equally distributed over the body and that the thickness of the skinfold is a measure for
subcutaneous fat. (Moore, n.d.)
2. Body Circumferences
a. Head/ Chest Circumference Findings:
Head Circumference - 51 cm/ 20 inches
Chest circumference – 90cm/35.5 inches
Interpretation:
The measurement of Mrs. Mely Rose's head circumference was found to be in the normal
range of 20 inches (51 cm). Her chest circumference measures 35.5 inches (90 cm), which
is also considered normal given that the standard range for a woman's chest circumference
is between 34 and 35 inches.
Analysis:
Anthropometric measurements are noninvasive quantitative measurements of the body.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2022), anthropometry
provides a valuable assessment of nutritional status in children and adults. Typically they
are used in the pediatric population to evaluate the general health status, nutritional
adequacy, and the growth and developmental pattern of the child.
Interpretation:
Her mid-upper arm circumference is normal since the normal average for a woman is
greater than 22cm and Mrs. Mely Rose’s finding is 25.3cm.
Analysis:
MUAC is the circumference of the right upper arm measured at the midpoint between the
tip of the shoulder and the tip of the elbow (olecranon process and the acromium). The
other anthropometric parameters include skin-fold thickness at defined sites, muscle
circumference, and waist: Hip ratio. MUAC is a useful indicator of malnutrition that can
be used in ill patients (normal MUAC >23 cm in males, >22 cm in females). (National
Library of Medicine, 2014).

1. Problem No. 1
Altered GI (Gastrointestinal) function related to unhealthy eating habits as
evidenced by consumption of high-fat meat, sweets and fibers which causes
constipation.
Justification:
Mrs. Mely's three-day recall of her diet reveals that she consumes excessive amounts of
fatty meats like beef ribs and pork, as well as fiber-rich vegetables like eggplant, and
whole grains, bread, and cereals, which can lead constipation if you take too much of it.
2. Problem No. 2
Imbalanced nutrition: More than body requirements related to knowledge deficit as
evidenced by eating too much unhealthy foods.
Justification:
The client does not have any idea about proper nutritional intake as long as she is
satisfied and able to consume whatever she desires, she is happy.
3. Problem No. 3
Heartburn related to eating too much saturated fats as evidenced by chest pain and
shortness of breath after eating.
Justification:
The client enjoys fried foods, and fast food such as French fries, pizza, biscuits, burgers
and doughnuts, cakes, and sausages, all of which are high in saturated fats. She usually
enjoys it because it allows her to relax and brings her happiness.
