NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT BY
USING ANTHROPOMETRY AND BMI
Md. Moksed Ali PramanikPrincipal Research Associate

Nutritional Assessment: Nutritional Assessment is the evaluation of individual nutritional status.
Types or Methods of Assessment
Direct Indirect
Clinical Biochemical Biophysical Anthropometry
Food Consumption / Dietary Survey Nutritional Epidemiology
Anthropometric Assessment:
1
For Anthropometric Assessment, information is needed on each individual’s sex, age, weight, height, Mid Upper Arm Circumference etc.
Anthropometric Data Analysis:
The anthropometric data were calculated and analyzed as standard deviation scores (Z-scores) of NCHS (The US National Center for Health Statistics) reference height-for-age, weight-for-age and weight-for-height and as percentage of reference median of these indicators. The Anthro software package and Epi Info were used in this regard.
Z-score (Standard Score): Z-score is simple a position score in terms of standard vdeviation with reference to the mean.
Individual’s value ─ Mean value x = ∑ x I ÷ n Z score = ------------------------------------------------------------------ SD = ∑ √ ( x i ―x)2 ÷ (n ― 1) Standard deviation = √ 1 [ ∑ xi
2 ―(∑xi)2 ]
There are three categories of z-score for Anthropometric Data Analysis. They are as follows
HAZ (Height for age z-score) – Measures Stunting
Low HA is considered an indicator of stunting (i.e. shortness) which is frequently associated
with poor overall economic condition and/or repeated exposure to adverse condition. (past
chronic under nutrition)
WAZ (Weight for age z-score) – Measures Underweight
WA is primarily a composite of WH and HA, and fails to distinguish tall, thin. Children from
short, well proportioned children (stunting wasting / current acute and chronic under
nutrition).
WHZ (Weight for height z-score) – Measures Wasting
Low WH is considered an indicator of wasting (i.e. thinness) and is associated with failure
to gain weight or a loss of weight.
(Individual’s height) ─ (Mean or median height of reference for given age and sex)HAZ = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard deviation of reference
Cut-off point of HAZ –

HAZ < 3 SD : Severely stuntedHAZ < 2 SD to 3 SD : Moderately stuntedHAZ ≥ 2 SD : Not stunted
(Individual’s weight) ─ (Mean or median weight of reference for given age and sex)WAZ = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard deviation of reference

WAZ < 3 SD :Severely underweightWAZ < 2 SD to 3 SD : Moderately underweightWAZ ≥ 2 SD : Not underweight
(Individual’s weight) ─ (Mean or median weight of reference for given sex and height)WHZ = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard deviation of reference

WHZ of boys aged 11.5 years and height less than 145 cm. and for girls aged 10 years and height less than 137 cm can be calculated. When height less than 49 cm. WHZ can not be calculated.
Weight for-age percent of median (WAM) (PEM or Gomez Classification):

In Waterlow classification children are categorized into four groups on the basis of percentage deviation from the reference median height-for-age and weight-for-height. The following cut-off points were used to categories normal, stunted, wasted and stunted & wasted:Normal : Height-for-age 90 % of reference median
Weight-for-height 80 % of reference median
Stunted : Height-for-age < 90 % of reference median Weight-for-height 80 % of reference median
Wasted : Height-for-age 90 % of reference median Weight-for-height < 80 % of reference median
Stunted : Height-for-age < 90 % of reference medianand wasted Weight-for-height < 80 % of reference median

Example: Age of a male person =40 yrs, weight = 50 kg. Evaluate the nutritional status by using WAZ classification. Solution: Age 40 yrs, average weight = 81 kg and SD 13.5 (from the reference value).Calculated WAZ = (50 ― 81.4) ÷ 13.5 = ― 2.325 Comment : Calculated WAZ value is ― 2.325 which is lies between ― 2SD and ― 3SD. This implies that the sample moderately underweight.
Body Mass Index (BMI):
Weight in kg.BMI = ----------------------------- (Height in metre)2
The following cut-off points were used to categories the nutrition status by BMI:
Grade 3 Chronic energy deficiency (CED) ( Severely thinness) :BMI < 16 Grade 2 Chronic energy deficiency (CED) (Moderate thinness) :BMI 16-16.99 Grade 1 Chronic energy deficiency (CED) :17- 18.49 (Mild thinness) BMI 18.5-24.99 : NormalGrade 1 Over weight :BMI 25-29.99 Grade 2 Overweight :BMI 30.00-39.99Grade 3 Over weight :BMI ≥40

Three category of BMIBody Mass Index were usually classified into three categories. The following cut-off points were used to categories chronic energy deficiency (CED), normal and obese:CED = BMI < 18.5Normal = BMI 18.5-24.99Obese = BMI equal or greater than 25
