Mid upper arm circumference measures :
Answer: D
Mid upper arm circumference measures fat, bone and muscle tissue.
MUAC is the circumference of the upper arm midway between the shoulder and the elbow. The tape encircles everything in the arm's cross-section: skin and subcutaneous fat, muscle, and the humerus bone. Changes in it mainly reflect muscle and fat, which is why it is used to screen for acute malnutrition in children.
Skinfold thickness and subcutaneous fat are measured with skinfold calipers, and 'fat and muscle' leaves out the bone the circumference also includes.
