Inbody Body Composition Assessment

As the Occupational Health Technician, I persuaded the Navy Clinic to transferred the duties of tracking civilians and military personnel physical exams to the NASKW Safety Office. I have to created a PowerPoint presentation to provide training to the Safety office Admin staff and provided the training on Microsoft Access database. The training was unrelated to children.

Body composition provides an overall assessment of health and it is important in assessing an individual’s risk of developing diseases such as diabetes, high blood, obesity and some forms of cancer. Body composition indicates the proportion of essential fats and non-essential fats in the body (ACSM, 2012). An optimal health range has been established based on the difference in age, sex, height and weight. Individuals above the established range are at increased risk of developing high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity (ACSM, 2012). While, individuals below the established range are more likely to interrupt the delivery of key vitamins and nutrients to the cells of the body as well as adversely affect the proper functioning of their reproductive

What nutrients are and how they affect our body, malnutrition, deficiency etc. The guidelines which determine nutritional health including dietary reference values (DRV), what a balanced diet is and how to maintain this, what BMI is and how to calculate it, the eat well plate, I will explain possible influences on dietary intake, assess how these influences may affect the nutritional health of individuals and I will also make realistic recommendations for minimising the impact of negative influences on individuals in a specific health and social care setting.

This can be extremely useful for people wanting to make lifestyle changes regarding nutrition and fitness, especially those aiming to lose weight and become healthier overall.

Over the course of three days, the intake of daily foods was documented in the iProfile food journal tracking system. The iProfile provides information on a nutritional analysis report that examines the macronutrients of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats when measured to the Recommended Dietary Intake (RDI) for overall health. The results will provide data to determine if the individual is consuming the recommended nutrients for strength, their metabolism, and to ensure that other body components are functioning.

Temporary profiles are intended to allow soldiers to properly recover from illness or injury. Commanders must consult with medical personnel to determine what physical training and duty requirements the profiled soldier can perform. The intent of a profile is to assist the soldier in fully returning to duty in the fastest, safest manner possible. Organizational leaders are responsible for the use and monitoring of MEDPROS to measure their unit/individual medical readiness status. Leaders should analyze medical data and generate reports to determine the medical and dental readiness of individuals, units, and task forces. Unit commanders are responsible for monitoring their Soldiers’ Individual Medical Readiness (IMR) and ensuring compliance with all the combined elements of medical readiness. The elements include immunizations, physical profiles/duty limitations, vision, hearing, labs, dental, personal deployment meds, physical health assessment (PHA), individual medical equipment (IME), and pregnancy screening.

These health care teams often are made up of many different types of professionals including doctors, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, therapists, registered dietitians (RD), and many other different types of technologists and technicians. Although all of these members of the team are essential, the role registered dietitian’s play and the knowledge they contribute is vital to many different specialties in health care. According to a study by Kelly Adams, Karen Lindell, Martin Kolhmeier, and Steven Zeisel, only 30% of medical schools require an actual separate course in nutrition. Although their curriculum may include nutrition throughout the many different courses a physician has to take, this is an inadequate amount of time being spent on nutrition to be considered and expert in this field, which results in the vitality of having and maintaining a RD on their team. Nutrition can prevent and help treat many different problems that arise in clinical care and the different specialties that it entails.

Performance Triad was developed by Army Medicine to create healthier lifestyles for soldiers, soldier’s family, retirees, DOD personnel and all Army family. Army Medicine encourages everyone to try and maintain the basics of health education. Thus by doing so, it teaches us simplicity can be just as effective. Every soldier needs sleep, proper nutrition, and activity. Maintaining these basic necessary components increases performance of the unit efficiency. Eating a proper nutritious diet offers numerous health benefits that keep soldieries’ mentally and physically well. Performance triad shares practical tips for healthy living, including

Review how your recorded protein, carbohydrate, and lipid intake compares with the recommendations of the dietaryreference intake (DRI). If your recorded

At the end of the scheduled four-year period, the nutrition education wellness policy will be evaluated to determine its level of effectiveness and if it should be extended. Each of the statistics mentioned in the objectives will be measured through surveys and data collection at the beginning and the end of the policy period. Subjective evaluations will also be conducted. Staff and students will be asked to rank the effectiveness, practicality, and overall experience of the policy on a Likert

National Nutrition Month is in March, and the Bruce Carter Veterans Affairs Medical Center (Miami VA) celebrates the month with multiple activities for the veterans. One of the proposed workshops for the month is a fitness walk around the hospital to promote physical activity. Before the walk a nutrition topic will be presented to the participants. The topic chosen was Stay Hydrated!, the presentation will teach participants to drink the appropriate amount of water and what food sources have high water content. The theme was chosen because as people age the mechanism of thirst decreases and older persons drink insufficient water following fluid deprivation to replenish their body water deficit (Popkin, D’Anci, & Rosenberg, 2010). To foment

Two-hundred overweight/obese individuals will be subjected to my evaluation plan. Upon completion of the nutrition 2-hour workshops and questionnaire about current eating habits, participants will be randomly placed into either the breakfast eating group or the non-breakfast eating group. This randomization will occur via computer programing. Participants will then be measured for weight and height via balance beam and scale stadiometer. Body mass index will be measured via XA model Lunar DPX-IQ. A plastic- flexible tape measure will be used to measure hip circumference.

Course Description and Content: Incorporates principles of human nutrition, essential nutrients, nutritional needs of different age groups, and nutrition research. Focuses on the relationship between nutrition, physical fitness, lifestyle, and health, with supporting emphases on consumer awareness, evaluation of nutrition information, eating disorders, and the importance of a balanced, varied diet.

This is a laboratory report on measuring body composition. The aim of the laboratory report was to compare two different field methods skinfolds and bioimpedance analysis to measure body composition and evaluate the most reliable doubly indirect method to measure body composition. A number of studies such as Kitano,T have shown a strong correlation between skinfold and bioelectrical impedance analysis and tend to have an average body fat difference of less than 0.6.
