The Cane Corso is a large dog of molossoid type, and is closely related to the Neapolitan Mastiff. It is well muscled [8] and less bulky than most other mastiff breeds. According to the international standard, dogs should stand some 62–70 cm at the withers and weigh 45–50 kg; bitches are about 4 cm smaller, and weigh some 5 kg less. [2]
Relative Fat Mass (RFM) is a simple formula for the estimation of overweight or obesity in humans that requires only a calculation based on a ratio of height and waist measurements. [ 1 ] High body fat is associated with increased risks of poor health and early mortality. [ 2 ]
Human body weight is a person's mass or weight. Strictly speaking, body weight is the measurement of mass without items located on the person. Practically though, body weight may be measured with clothes on, but without shoes or heavy accessories such as mobile phones and wallets, and using manual or digital weighing scales .
BMI vs. Body Fat Percentage. BMI and body fat percentage are both ways of determining whether a person has a healthy weight or not. A high BMI can indicate a high body fat percentage, but it’s ...
Prior to the adoption of DXA, the most accurate method of estimating body fat percentage was to measure that person's average density (total mass divided by total volume) and apply a formula to convert that to body fat percentage. Since fat tissue has a lower density than muscles and bones, it is possible to estimate the fat content.
Body roundness index (BRI) is a calculated geometric index used to quantify an aspect of a person's individual body shape. Based on the principle of body eccentricity, it provides a rapid visual and anthropometric tool for health evaluation. [1] Introduced in 2013, the BRI calculation can be used to estimate total and visceral body fat.
According to a new study, it doesn't really make sense to calculate a dog's age the traditional way — by multiplying its "human year" age by seven. The actual formula, it turns out, might mean ...
In the following formulae, BSA is expressed in m 2, weight (or, more properly, mass) W in kg, and height H in cm. The most widely used is the Du Bois formula, [4] [5] which has been shown to be equally as effective in estimating body fat in obese and non-obese patients, something the Body mass index fails to do.
