Cameron learned that carrying more weight around the middle could put you at risk for certain conditions. She wants to use a body composition method to determine her body composition and also wants to know about weight distribution. Which method would be BEST to determine all she needs to know?

A.
body mass index because it compares you to others
B.
waist to hip ratio because it is not specific but helps determine weight distribution
C.
an MRI because it uses high speed electrical signals and body mass to determine body composition
D.
skin fold measurement because the calipers give you an exact calculation of how much fat is located in each area of the body
