Conclusion
INTRODUCTION
• Anthropos

- "man" and Metron "measurement”

• A branch

of anthropology that involves the quantitative measurement of
the human body.

Nutritional Anthropometry
“Measurement of the variations of the physical Dimensions & the gross
composition of the human body at different age levels and degrees of
nutrition”
- Jellife (1966)
• It

is used to evaluate both under & over nutrition.
• The measured values reflects the current nutritional status & don’t differentiate
between acute & chronic changes
3
USE OF ANTHROPOMETRY
Individual Level
SCREENING: ONE TIME ASSESSMENT
to immediately decrease case fatality (emergency situations)
in non-emergency situations
GROWTH MONITORING: TREND ASSESSMENT

Population Level
ONE TIME ASSESSMENT
under circumstances of food crisis
for long-term planning
NUTRITIONAL SURVEILLANCE: TREND ASSESSMENT
for long-term planning
for timely warning
for programme management
4
SIGNIFICANCE OF ANTHROPOMETRY


Primary measures of past or current nutritional status in
children.



Distinguish between stunting & wasting



Identify PEM & obesity



Monitor changes after nutrition intervention



In clinical settings- identify, hospital patients with CED or over
nutrition.
5



Public Health screening
Advantages
• Simple & Safe procedures
• Inexpensive, portable, durable
equipment
• Little training
• Precise & accurate methods
• Info generated on past longtime nutritional history, not
possible with other tech. with
equal confidence.

Disadvantages
• Relatively insensitive method &
can’t detect disturbances in
nutritional status over short period
of time or identify specific nutrient
deficiency.
• Unable to distinguish disturbances
in growth or body composition
induced by nutrient(Zn) def. from
those caused by imbalances in
P&E intake.

1. WEIGHT OR BODY MASS


The measurement of weight is most
reliable criteria of assessment of health
and nutritional status of children.



The weight can be recorded using a :
 Beam type weighing balance
 Electronic weighing scales for infants
and children
 Bathroom type of mechanical scale
(very unreliable)
 Salter spring machine (in field
conditions)

12
INDICATION


Sensitive indicator of current nutritional
status.



Deficit in weight indicates short term under
nutrition which can be easily reversed.



PEM is best indentified by weight
deficiency in all groups

13
MEASURING CHILD’S WEIGHT USING THE SALTER SCALE.
(SOURCE: UNICEF, 1986)










Adjust the pointer of the scale
to zero level.
Take off the child’s heavy
clothes and shoes.
Hold the child’s legs through
the leg holes (arrow 1).
Hold the child’s feet (arrow
2).
Hang the child on the Salter
Scale (arrow 3).
Read the scale at eye level to
the nearest 0.1 kg (arrow 5).
Remove the child slowly and
safely.
14
MEASURING WEIGHT OF ADULTS USING THE
BEAM BALANCE SCALE .








Participants are asked to remove
their heavy outer garments
(jacket, coat, trousers, skirts, etc.)
and shoes. If subjects refuse to
remove trousers or skirt, at least
make them empty their pockets and
record the fact in the data collection
form
The participant stands in the centre
of the platform, weight distributed
evenly to both feet. Standing offcentre may affect measurement.
The weights are moved until the
beam balances (the arrows are
aligned).
The weight is recorded to the
resolution of the scale (the nearest
0.1 kg or 0.2 kg).

WEIGHT
 Sensitive

to changes
 Changes in two directions up and down
 Fast change
 Usually easy to collect
 Standardisation of scales needed, calibration
 Small changes are difficult to measure: food
intake of the child, urine, dehydration, temp, etc:
not very specific
 community aversion: connotations
 can be difficult: co-operation of children
 to nearest 100 gr.
18
2. HEIGHT OR LENGTH


Height
vertical distance measured from crown of head to bottom of feet
(heels) for children 2 yr of age or older.



Recumbent Length:
distance measured from crown of head to bottom of feet (heels) while
child(< 2 yr of age) is measured supine.

Indication




Infantometer

Gives a picture of past
nutritional status
Deficit inheight
indicates chronic &
prolonged under
nutrition resulting often
in permanently stunted
physical staus

19

Stadiometer
TECHNIQUE OF LENGTH
MEASUREMENT
 The

infant is placed supine on the infantometer.

 Assistant

or mother is asked to keep the vertex or top
of the head snugly touching the fixed vertically
plank.

 The

leg are fully extended by pressing over the knee,
and feet are kept vertical at 90⁰ , the movable pedal
plank of infantometer is snuggly apposed against
20
soles and length is read from scale.
21
TECHNIQUE FOR HEIGHT
MEASUREMENT
•

In older children who can stand , height can
be measured by the rod attached to the lever
type machine or by stadiometer.

•

Person should stand with bare feet on the
flat floor against a wall with fit parallel and
with heels buttocks, shoulders and occiput
touching the wall.

•

•

Head should be kept in Frankfurt plane.

With the help of a wooden spatula or plastic
ruler. The topmost point of the vertex is
identified on the wall.

22
23
HEIGHT
 Difficult

to measure, accuracy, large variations
 Differences are small: 24 cm increment in the first
year of life, 11 cm second year, 8 third
 Low sensitivity
 Large measurement errors
 Measure to the nearest mm
 Below 2 y recumbent, above standing

24
3. WAIST-TO-HIP CIRCUMFERENCE RATIO
MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE
Waist circumference
 A good quality non-stretchable
measuring tape should be used.
 View the patient from the front.
 Locate the narrowest point
between ribs and iliac crests.
 Ensure that the tape measure is at
the same height around the waist.
 Measure and state the
measurement correctly to the
nearest centimetre.
≥102cm (adult male) & ≥88 cm (adult female) considered having abdominal
obesity

25
WAIST-TO-HIP CIRCUMFERENCE RATIO
Hip circumference









View the person from the front.
Hip measurement is taken at
the widest lateral extension of
the hips.
Ensure that the tape measure is
horizontal.
Measure and state the
measurement correctly to the
nearest centimetre.
Calculate Waist/Hip Ratio to 2
decimal places.

26
MEASURES OF BODY COMPOSITION


Weight loss, per se, does not provide the nutritionist
with an indication of type of tissue lost (i.e. weight loss
due to loss of adipose tissue or loss of muscle tissue).



Measurements of skin-folds, mid-arm circumference
and mid-arm muscle circumference therefore provide a
more comprehensive picture of body composition/
changes.

27
MID-ARM CIRCUMFERENCE (MAC)
Locate the midpoint of the arm.


Non-dominant arm elbow flexed at 90deg
with palm facing upwards



Measurer stands behind the subject & locates
the lateral tip of the acromion and the most
distal point on the olecranon
process



Place a tape measure so that it passes between
these 2 landmarks and mark the
midpoint
Measure the midarm circumference



The subject stands erect with arms hanging
freely at the sides and the palms facing the
thighs



Place the tape measure perpendicular to the
long axis of the arm at the marked midpoint
& measure the circumference to the nearest
mm. (e.g. 18.1 cm)



Provide the actual MAC in cm.

SKIN-FOLD MEASUREMENTS


Approximately half of the total
amount of fat tissue in the human
body is located below the surface of
the skin.

In general, when measuring skin-fold
thickness,



This makes it possible to predict
total body fat from skin-fold
thicknesses with a relative high
degree of accuracy using a simple
two-compartmental method.
This accuracy is confirmed by CT
scan as well as ultrasonic and
radiographic techniques used to
measure subcut.fat.

The assessor, using the forefinger and the
thumb, grasps and lifts the subcut. tissue
and skin from the underlying muscle.



Places the pincers of the skin-fold
caliper, applying a constant
pressure, 2cm below the fingers at a
depth of 1cm.







Holds this position for 3-4seconds.



Takes three measurements for accuracy.

HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE
• Brain growth takes place 70% during fetal
life, 15% during infancy and remaining 10%
during pre-school years.
• Head circumference are routinely recorded until 5 years of
age.
• If scalp edema or cranial moulding is present , measurement of
scalp edema may be inaccurate until fourth or fifth day of life .

•The head circumference is measured by placing the tape over
the occipital protuberance at the back and just over the
supraorbital ridge and the glabella in front.

increases with age in both males and females. The increase is more in women.
DATA FROM NNMB SURVEYS IN URBAN
SLUMS
Data from NNMB surveys in urban slums on time trends in
weight; mid-upper arm circumference and fat fold thickness at
triceps are shown in Figure 7.2.10, 7.2.11, 7.2.12 and 7.2.13.
 Mean body weight, mid upper arm circumference and fat fold
thickness at triceps are higher in all age groups in 1993 - 94.
 The increase in body weight is mainly due to increase fat as
shown by rising fat fold thickness.
 Data from NNMB reports shows that both in men and women
over years, there have been an increase in body weight and fat
fold thickness.
 The increase in body weight and fat fold is greater in urban slum
77
dwellers.

Nutritional Anthropometry

  • 2. WHAT IS INSIDE !!!  What is Anthropometry  Anthropometric measurements  Indices  References used  Classification  Results of different National Surveys  Conclusion
  • 3. INTRODUCTION • Anthropos - "man" and Metron "measurement” • A branch of anthropology that involves the quantitative measurement of the human body. Nutritional Anthropometry “Measurement of the variations of the physical Dimensions & the gross composition of the human body at different age levels and degrees of nutrition” - Jellife (1966) • It is used to evaluate both under & over nutrition. • The measured values reflects the current nutritional status & don’t differentiate between acute & chronic changes 3
  • 4. USE OF ANTHROPOMETRY Individual Level SCREENING: ONE TIME ASSESSMENT to immediately decrease case fatality (emergency situations) in non-emergency situations GROWTH MONITORING: TREND ASSESSMENT Population Level ONE TIME ASSESSMENT under circumstances of food crisis for long-term planning NUTRITIONAL SURVEILLANCE: TREND ASSESSMENT for long-term planning for timely warning for programme management 4
  • 5. SIGNIFICANCE OF ANTHROPOMETRY  Primary measures of past or current nutritional status in children.  Distinguish between stunting & wasting  Identify PEM & obesity  Monitor changes after nutrition intervention  In clinical settings- identify, hospital patients with CED or over nutrition. 5  Public Health screening
  • 6. Advantages • Simple & Safe procedures • Inexpensive, portable, durable equipment • Little training • Precise & accurate methods • Info generated on past longtime nutritional history, not possible with other tech. with equal confidence. Disadvantages • Relatively insensitive method & can’t detect disturbances in nutritional status over short period of time or identify specific nutrient deficiency. • Unable to distinguish disturbances in growth or body composition induced by nutrient(Zn) def. from those caused by imbalances in P&E intake. 6
  • 7. ANTHROPOMETRY   MEASUREMENTS - Using Anthropometric Instruments  Technique of measuring people REFERENCE VALUES / STANDARDS - National & International Measure Reference Index  INDICES - Computed Indicator Information -Age dependent/Independent  CLASSIFICATIONS - Grading of Nutritional Status 7
  • 8. Nutritional Anthropometry Weight : - Total Body mass - Simple, widely used - Sensitive to small changes in nutrition Height : - Genetically Determined - Environmentally influenced - Stunting Reflects chronic undernutrition MUAC : - Reflects muscle/fat - Easy to measure, used for quick screening - Independent of age (1-5 years) FFT: - Measures body fat - Correlates well with total body fat 8
  • 9. ANTHROPOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS ( For New Born & Young Children)  Weight  Recumbent length  Head Circumference  Chest Circumference  Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) 9
  • 10. ANTHROPOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS ( For Adults )  Weight (in Kg)  Hip Circumference (in cm)  Height (in cm)  Fat fold thickness (in mm)    Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) (in cm)    Triceps Biceps Supra-Iliac Sub-scapular Waist Circumference (in cm) 10
  • 11. REQUIREMENTS FOR NUTRITIONAL ANTHROPOMETRY Standard equipment: - Accuracy / Consistency, Appropriate techniques: - Training & Standardization Correct assessment of age: Reference values: - For comparison and computation of indices Classification: - For grading nutritional status 11
  • 12. 1. WEIGHT OR BODY MASS  The measurement of weight is most reliable criteria of assessment of health and nutritional status of children.  The weight can be recorded using a :  Beam type weighing balance  Electronic weighing scales for infants and children  Bathroom type of mechanical scale (very unreliable)  Salter spring machine (in field conditions) 12
  • 13. INDICATION  Sensitive indicator of current nutritional status.  Deficit in weight indicates short term under nutrition which can be easily reversed.  PEM is best indentified by weight deficiency in all groups 13
  • 14. MEASURING CHILD’S WEIGHT USING THE SALTER SCALE. (SOURCE: UNICEF, 1986)        Adjust the pointer of the scale to zero level. Take off the child’s heavy clothes and shoes. Hold the child’s legs through the leg holes (arrow 1). Hold the child’s feet (arrow 2). Hang the child on the Salter Scale (arrow 3). Read the scale at eye level to the nearest 0.1 kg (arrow 5). Remove the child slowly and safely. 14
  • 15. MEASURING WEIGHT OF ADULTS USING THE BEAM BALANCE SCALE .     Participants are asked to remove their heavy outer garments (jacket, coat, trousers, skirts, etc.) and shoes. If subjects refuse to remove trousers or skirt, at least make them empty their pockets and record the fact in the data collection form The participant stands in the centre of the platform, weight distributed evenly to both feet. Standing offcentre may affect measurement. The weights are moved until the beam balances (the arrows are aligned). The weight is recorded to the resolution of the scale (the nearest 0.1 kg or 0.2 kg). 15
  • 18. WEIGHT  Sensitive to changes  Changes in two directions up and down  Fast change  Usually easy to collect  Standardisation of scales needed, calibration  Small changes are difficult to measure: food intake of the child, urine, dehydration, temp, etc: not very specific  community aversion: connotations  can be difficult: co-operation of children  to nearest 100 gr. 18
  • 19. 2. HEIGHT OR LENGTH  Height vertical distance measured from crown of head to bottom of feet (heels) for children 2 yr of age or older.  Recumbent Length: distance measured from crown of head to bottom of feet (heels) while child(< 2 yr of age) is measured supine. Indication   Infantometer Gives a picture of past nutritional status Deficit inheight indicates chronic & prolonged under nutrition resulting often in permanently stunted physical staus 19 Stadiometer
  • 20. TECHNIQUE OF LENGTH MEASUREMENT  The infant is placed supine on the infantometer.  Assistant or mother is asked to keep the vertex or top of the head snugly touching the fixed vertically plank.  The leg are fully extended by pressing over the knee, and feet are kept vertical at 90⁰ , the movable pedal plank of infantometer is snuggly apposed against 20 soles and length is read from scale.
  • 21. 21
  • 22. TECHNIQUE FOR HEIGHT MEASUREMENT • In older children who can stand , height can be measured by the rod attached to the lever type machine or by stadiometer. • Person should stand with bare feet on the flat floor against a wall with fit parallel and with heels buttocks, shoulders and occiput touching the wall. • • Head should be kept in Frankfurt plane. With the help of a wooden spatula or plastic ruler. The topmost point of the vertex is identified on the wall. 22
  • 23. 23
  • 24. HEIGHT  Difficult to measure, accuracy, large variations  Differences are small: 24 cm increment in the first year of life, 11 cm second year, 8 third  Low sensitivity  Large measurement errors  Measure to the nearest mm  Below 2 y recumbent, above standing 24
  • 25. 3. WAIST-TO-HIP CIRCUMFERENCE RATIO MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE Waist circumference  A good quality non-stretchable measuring tape should be used.  View the patient from the front.  Locate the narrowest point between ribs and iliac crests.  Ensure that the tape measure is at the same height around the waist.  Measure and state the measurement correctly to the nearest centimetre. ≥102cm (adult male) & ≥88 cm (adult female) considered having abdominal obesity 25
  • 26. WAIST-TO-HIP CIRCUMFERENCE RATIO Hip circumference      View the person from the front. Hip measurement is taken at the widest lateral extension of the hips. Ensure that the tape measure is horizontal. Measure and state the measurement correctly to the nearest centimetre. Calculate Waist/Hip Ratio to 2 decimal places. 26
  • 27. MEASURES OF BODY COMPOSITION  Weight loss, per se, does not provide the nutritionist with an indication of type of tissue lost (i.e. weight loss due to loss of adipose tissue or loss of muscle tissue).  Measurements of skin-folds, mid-arm circumference and mid-arm muscle circumference therefore provide a more comprehensive picture of body composition/ changes. 27
  • 28. MID-ARM CIRCUMFERENCE (MAC) Locate the midpoint of the arm.  Non-dominant arm elbow flexed at 90deg with palm facing upwards  Measurer stands behind the subject & locates the lateral tip of the acromion and the most distal point on the olecranon process  Place a tape measure so that it passes between these 2 landmarks and mark the midpoint Measure the midarm circumference  The subject stands erect with arms hanging freely at the sides and the palms facing the thighs  Place the tape measure perpendicular to the long axis of the arm at the marked midpoint & measure the circumference to the nearest mm. (e.g. 18.1 cm)  Provide the actual MAC in cm. 28

  • 32. SKIN-FOLD MEASUREMENTS  Approximately half of the total amount of fat tissue in the human body is located below the surface of the skin. In general, when measuring skin-fold thickness,  This makes it possible to predict total body fat from skin-fold thicknesses with a relative high degree of accuracy using a simple two-compartmental method. This accuracy is confirmed by CT scan as well as ultrasonic and radiographic techniques used to measure subcut.fat. The assessor, using the forefinger and the thumb, grasps and lifts the subcut. tissue and skin from the underlying muscle.  Places the pincers of the skin-fold caliper, applying a constant pressure, 2cm below the fingers at a depth of 1cm.    Holds this position for 3-4seconds.  Takes three measurements for accuracy. 32  Provides the actual skin-fold thickness in mm.
