Mid-upper arm circumference and nutritional risk in macrocephalic pediatric patients
… to determine if the measurement of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) in pediatric patients with macrocephaly better identifies children at nutritional risk as compared to weight-for-length (WFL) or body mass index (BMI). Methods: A cross-sectional pilot study of children aged 6-36 months with a …

Mid-upper arm circumference: a surrogate for body mass index in pregnant women?
… or nutritional state in pregnancy. Mid upper arm circumference has been used for many decades in children under the age of five, to assess malnutrition. Many studies have shown a strong correlation between MUAC and BMI in the adult population. MUAC is a much simpler anthropometric measure to take …
