BODY FAT RATIO & VISCERAL FAT LEVEL
BODY FAT ANALYSIS
Body fat is classified as subcutaneous fat and visceral fat etc., depending on where it is located
in the body. In particular, visceral fat level is known to have a close connection to susceptibility
common diseases.
What is Body Fat Percentage?
Body fat percentage refers to the amount of body fat mass in regards to the total body
weight expressed as a percentage.
The BF500 uses BI(Bioelectrical Impedance) to calculate your body fat percentage using
the following simple formula.
Body fat percentage (%) = {Body fat mass (kg) / Body weight (kg)} × 100
The BF500 uses body fat percentage to measure your body fat percentage using the
above simple formula.
Body fat percentage classification
differs for men and women
When most people think of body fat, they have
a negative image of it. However, it serves a vital
role in storing energy, protecting internal
organs, etc. While too much body fat is
unhealthy for you, having too little is also
unhealthy.
The distribution of body fat in men and women
is different, so the basis of classifying the body
fat percentage for male and female is different.
