2. Body fat percentage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_fat_percentage

   A number of methods are available for determining body fat percentage, such as measurement with calipers or through the use of bioelectrical impedance analysis. The body fat percentage is a measure of fitness level, since it is the only body measurement which directly calculates a person's relative body composition without regard to height or ...

3. Body composition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_composition

   Calculate body fat % A common skin fold method is by using gun style calipers to measure the thickness of subcutaneous fat in multiple places on the body. This includes the abdominal area, the subscapular region, arms, buttocks and thighs. These measurements are then used to estimate total body fat.

4. Anthropometry of the upper arm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropometry_of_the_upper_arm

   However, research in the 1980s used computed tomography to measure deep fat, and showed a lack of correlation between that and subcutaneous fat. However, for children and adolescents the skinfold and circumference measurements provide a fair assessment of total body fat because that is where most body fat lies during those stages of human ...

5. Is BMI or Body Fat More Important? - AOL

   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 ...

6. Bioelectrical impedance analysis - Wikipedia

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

   Dehydration is a recognized factor affecting BIA measurements, as it causes an increase in the body's electrical resistance, so has been measured to cause a 5 kg underestimation of fat-free mass i.e. an overestimation of body fat. [4] Body-fat measurements are lower when measurements are taken shortly after consumption of a meal, causing a ...

7. Body roundness index - Wikipedia

   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.

8. Sagittal abdominal diameter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittal_Abdominal_Diameter

   When this measure exceeds 30 centimetres (12 in) it correlates to increased cardiovascular risk and insulin resistance. [2] For men in their 40s, a SAD greater than 25 cm also predicts significantly higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease 30 years later. [4] An article in Annals of Neurology links visceral fat to lower brain volume. [5]

9. Body adiposity index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_adiposity_index

   The BAI is calculated as: [2] Hip circumference (Pearson correlation coefficient, R = 0.602) and height (R = −0.524) are strongly correlated with percentage of body fat.. Comparing BAI with "gold standard" dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) results, the correlation between DXA-derived percentage of adiposity and the BAI in a target population was R = 0.85, with a concordance of C_b = 0
