Body composition assessment : Skinfold test . The main purpose of skinfold measurements is to estimate general fatness and the distribution of subcutaneous adipose tissue. Fat is pinched between a two-pronged caliper on designated body sites such as triceps, biceps, abdomen, iliac crest, just below the scapula, the thigh and the chest. This should be used in addition to BMI for a more accurate evaluation of body composition .

Body Mass Index . BMI = kg/m2 where kg is a person’s weight in kilograms and m2 is their height in metres squared. However the test has been criticized as being an inaccurate tool. One reason is that a person with lots of muscle and minimal body fat can have the same BMI as a person with obesity who has much less muscle. In addition to BMI the Skinfold test should be also applied . See normative chart for individual evaluation. While normal BMI level for adults is 18.5-25 , it does not take age or s*x into account .

A different perspective ! Acceptance and appreciation . While my client ( friend ) has experienced a traumatic event ( total left knee replacement ) I feel , that part of my due care is to help her process what has happened to her . Not just her physical rehabilitation , also her emotional one too . I hope this art will remind her every day to embrace her perceived flaws and imperfection . I painted over the scar line with 24 karat gold paint . Inspired by the Japanese art Kintsugi . “ you won’t realise your full potential until you go through the tough times .” by Kumai
