Hidden Fat Not Revealed by BMI
Although BMI calculates a simple obesity
level, there is also hidden fat levels that is
not revealed by a BMI designation.
The examples below show two cases that
were revealed by OMRON’s research.
Although both cases are for people of
almost the same height and weight, and
their BMI designation is normal, the body
fat percentage (p. 42) for case B is high.
That is, although case B has normal body
weight, the actual fat level is high,
revealing the “hidden fat”. This hidden fat
indicates high levels of visceral fat (p. 43)
71664040-3C, even though the BMI
designation is normal.
