29. Imagine you are working with a team of researchers to conduct a national survey of nutrition and health. You will travel around the country in a mobile lab (i.e., a van equipped with computers and research instruments) and interview many people about their health habits. You will also take some anthropometric measurements of the study participants to evaluate their weight status and health risks. Of all the weight status and body composition assessment techniques you've learned about in this Nutrition Lab, which technique(s) would you choose to use in this national survey? Explain your rationale. You might consider factors such as the size and expense of the equipment, the ease with which the technique can be used by the research team, or how well the research subjects will tolerate the measurements.
