How to Identify Declining Health Status
• Body mass index (BMI)• Percent weight change• Percent usual body weight• Arm muscle area• Subjective global assessment
• Body mass index (BMI)• Percent weight change• Percent usual body weight• Arm muscle area• Subjective global assessment

BMI Printable Chart
• BMI• Percent weight change• Percent usual body weight• Arm muscle area• Subjective global assessment
Anthropometrics
• Percent recent weight change=Usual Weight – Actual Weight
Usual Weight
• Mary Jane was 150 lb last time you saw her 3 weeks ago
• Today you visit her and she is 135 lb• What is her percent weight change?
X 100 = 10%
Percent Weight Change
• Percent recent weight change=Usual Weight (150) – Actual Weight (135)
Usual Weight (150)
• Mary Jane was 150 lb last time you saw her 3 weeks ago
• Today you visit her and she is 135 lb• What is her percent weight change?

Percent Weight Change (cont’d)
• Significant weight loss:−5% loss over 1 monthor−7.5% loss over 3 monthsor−10% loss over 6 months
• Severe weight loss:−5% loss over 1 monthor−>7.5% loss over 3 monthsor−10% loss over 6 months

Declining Weight Status
• The stable body weight of the person during the past 6 to 12 months

Declining Health Status
Arm Muscle Area (AMA)
• AMA is an estimate of overall muscle mass
• The National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) data indicate a depletion of lean body mass (ie, malnutrition and/or declining health status)
• Assumptions:– Arm, muscle, bone are circular– TSF is 2 the thickness of fat– Bone area is constant
TSF=triceps skinfold
• AMA is a better predictor of mortality than BMI in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

AMA (cont’d)
• The equation:[MAC – (π x TSF)]2
4π– Where π=3.14
• MAC—mid-arm circumference (cm)• TSF—triceps skinfold (cm)• Calculator• Chart to interpret results
What You Need to Calculate AMA
• Conduct on the nondominant arm
• Bend elbow 90 degrees• Measure the distance
from the boney protrusion on the shoulder (acromion) and the point of the elbow (olecranon process)
• Mark the midpointMAC=mid-arm circumference, MUAC=mid-upper arm circumference
Finding the Point to Measure the MUAC or MAC
Mid-Upper Arm Muscle Circumference
• Technique: Use right side
Triceps Skinfold (TSF)
• Put results into AMA equation• AMA=[MAC – (π x TSF)]2
4π• Use Appendix R from Lee and Nieman’s
Nutritional Assessment book to calculate results by finding the closest number in the appropriate category
Final Step
Category Percentile
Wasted <5th percentile
Below average 5th-15th percentile
Average 15th-85th percentile
Above average 85th-95th percentile
High muscle >95th percentile
Guidelines for Interpreting Percentile Values for Arm Muscle Area
• Age 51• If the MAC=12.5″ x 2.54=31.75 cm• If the TSF=30 mm Hg=3 cm • AMA=[MAC – (π x TSF)]2
4π• AMA=31.75 cm – (3.14 x 3
cm)=22.33=squared 498.62 12.56
• Individual is in the 10th percentile
=39.69 cm2
mm Hg=millimeters of mercury
Practice Example(make everything cm)
• Patient is at increased nutritional risk secondary to AMA results of 10%, categorized as below average
• One negative: AMA not validated in people who are older than 75 years of age
Category Percentile
Below average 5th-15th
percentile
Result
• BMI• Percent weight change• Percent usual body weight• Arm muscle area• Subjective global assessment
Declining Weight Status
Subjective Global Assessment (SGA)
SGA:• Is truly a subjective means of
assessing nutritional status, which corresponds to the subjective opinion of the patient’s nutritional status
• Classifies the patient as A, B, or C, which is based on the subjective ratings in two broad areas:– Medical history– Physical examination
• SGA is not a scoring system—not appropriate to score or add the number of A, B, and C ratings to arrive at the overall SGA classification
• If a patient has more B and C ratings, malnutrition is more likely
• A well-nourished patient will have ratings on the left-hand side of the SGA scoring sheet
