    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole-body_counting

    The instrument used is normally referred to as a whole body counter. This must not be confused with a "whole body monitor" which used for personnel exit monitoring, which is the term used in radiation protection for checking for external contamination of a whole body of a person leaving a radioactive contamination controlled area.

  3. Harris–Benedict equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harris–Benedict_equation

    The Harris–Benedict equation (also called the Harris-Benedict principle) is a method used to estimate an individual's basal metabolic rate (BMR).. The estimated BMR value may be multiplied by a number that corresponds to the individual's activity level; the resulting number is the approximate daily kilocalorie intake to maintain current body weight.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_dosimetry

    Internal dose monitoring of the radionuclides which emit radiation which can penetrate out of the body. For example X-rays, gamma rays of sufficient energy. It can be measured by devices such as a whole body counter. A whole body counter [5] has a low background arrangement with counting systems NaI(Tl) detectors for high energy photon detection

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_roundness_index

    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.

  7. Body fat percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_fat_percentage

    In males, mean percentage body fat ranged from 23% at age 16–19 years to 31% at age 60–79 years. In females, mean percentage body fat ranged from 32% at age 8–11 years to 42% at age 60–79 years. But it is important to recognise that women need at least 9% more body fat than men to live a normal healthy life. [2]

  8. Relative fat mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_Fat_Mass

    RFM is a simple anthropometric procedure that is claimed to be more convenient than body fat percentage and more accurate than the traditional body mass index (BMI). The ratio of the patient's height and waist measurement, both in meters, is multiplied by 20 before being subtracted from a number (shown in bold below) that adjusts for ...
