17.At what BMI category level should you screen for eating disorders? What is the screen you should use?:
<16.0 (severe thinness)
Use SCOFF
18.What is the BMI category for severe thinness?: < 16
19.What is the BMI category for moderate thinness?: 16 - 16.9
20.What is the BMI category for mild thinness?: 17 - 18.49
21.What is the BMI category for NORMAL?: 18.5 - 24.9
22.What is the BMI category for Preobese?: 25 - 29.9
23.What is the BMI category for Obese class I?: 30 - 34.9
24.What is the BMI category for Obese class II?: 35 - 39.9
25.What is the BMI category for Obese class III?: >40
26.How do you calculate Waist-to-height ratio?: Waist circumference (in) / total height (in)
27.What is the healthy waist-to-height ratio for Men? Women?: BOTH <0.5
28.If you had a 5'8" Female patient with a 37 inch waist, what would their waist-to-height ratio be? What is
your interpretation?: (12x5)+8 = 68" (tot height)
W circum (in) / tot height (in)
= *0.54*
(Unhealthy Range!)
