Out of the given methods for determination of body composition, A. weight circumference is the least expensive and most convinient. MRI is extremely costly and hydrostatic weighing requires more equipment, although it is not as costly as an MRI scan. Weight circumference can be easily done at home by measuring one's waist and comparing it to healthy values for individuals of the same gender and age.
