Where is the Suzuki test used to measure body fat in men applied?

  1. Mid-thigh and abdomen

  2. Upper arm and chest

  3. Pelvis and calf

  4. Stomach and chest only

The correct answer is: Mid-thigh and abdomen

The Suzuki test is used to measure body fat and is specifically designed to assess fat distribution in men. By focusing on the mid-thigh and abdomen, the test effectively captures areas where body fat tends to accumulate, offering insight into overall body composition. The mid-thigh is particularly useful as it reflects the fat in the lower body, while the abdomen is a common area for fat storage, especially in males. This combination provides a well-rounded picture of the individual's fat distribution and overall health status. In contrast, the other options do not align with the Suzuki test's intended measurement areas. The upper arm and chest, pelvis and calf, as well as stomach and chest each represent different regions that may not accurately reflect the body fat levels targeted by the Suzuki test, limiting the effectiveness of assessing total body fat distribution in men.
