They can be used to diagnose risk factors, enhance performance and help patients to assess improvement after treatment. To enhance long-term patient outcomes, an inter-professional team should work together to consistently obtain reproducible results that apply to clinical settings. Accurate serial measurements over time are the most important aspect of anthropometry for a reliable indicator of risk factors. This will help identify at-risk individuals early, help promote a healthy lifestyle, and enhance performance in athletes. Choosing the appropriate assessment method depends on aim, resources, population, and required accuracy.Key Words: BMI, Skinfolds, Ultrasound, Waist-to-Height-Ratio (WHtR), Waist Circumference
