2. Body fat percentage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_fat_percentage

   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.

3. Bioelectrical impedance analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectrical_impedance...

   Bioelectrical impedance analysis. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method for estimating body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body, and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance (resistance and reactance) of the body. Most body water is stored in muscle.

   Body fat percentage is a measure of how much body fat you have in relation to your overall weight. It can be more accurate than BMI at assessing whether someone has a healthy weight and whether ...

6. Classification of obesity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_obesity

   Some Sumo wrestlers were found to have no more body fat than a non-Sumo comparison group, with high BMI values resulting from their high amounts of lean body mass. [24] However, accurate measurement of body fat percentage is much more difficult than measurement of BMI. Several methods of varying accuracy and complexity exist.

7. Body composition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_composition

   In physical fitness, body composition refers to quantifying the different components (or "compartments") of a human body. [1] The selection of compartments varies by model but may include fat, bone, water, and muscle. [2] Two people of the same gender, height, and body weight may have completely different body types as a consequence of having ...
