 * Welcome to KNR 240!**

This is going to be SO much FUN!!!

Children are classified in body weight by doing tricep and medical calf skinfold tests. --Michelle Troutman

This is a good protocol to use for children, as their BC can be estimated without having to remove any clothing, but the question is more specific....."What is the criteria used to classify children as at risk for overweight or obese?"

Children can be classified by the BMI charts that we went over in class/printed off the blackboard site. These charts are commonly used in pediatric/doctors offices. --Michelle Troutman

The muscles themselves of black people, white people, or any other human being are not different. We are all the same species. There are some structural differences. Read this article: [] -Lindsey La Dew

There is a difference in muscular and bone density between ethnicities and gender. Do you want to try again or is someone else game??? http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/full/82/2/429 - Lindsey La Dew
 * Lean body mass** was //greater in black persons than in white persons//; differences observed were 6.6% for men and 2.6% for women.
 * Bone density** at all skeletal sites was s//tatistically significantly greater in black than in white subjects//; on average, adjustment for covariates reduced the percentage density differences by 42% for men and 34% for women. Adjusted bone density at various skeletal sites was 4.5–16.1% higher for black than for white men and was 1.2–7.3% higher for black than for white women.
