Which of the following body composition assessments is most appropriate for an obese client?

A) Circumference measurements

B) Body mass index

C) Skin fold measurements

D) Waist to hip ratio

The circumference measurements are the most appropriate body composition assessments for an obese client.

Explanation:

For a client who is visibly obese, it is clear that the body mass index of such a client would be naturally high. For such clients, in order to determine the imbalance in the composition of the body, it is preferable to directly measure the circumference of the body where the fat accumulation is visibly the highest. Generally, this measurement is taken from around the waist.
