  2. Bioelectrical impedance analysis - Wikipedia

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

    The equation (the squared value of height divided by impedance measurements of the right half of the body) showed a correlation coefficient of 0.92 with total body water. This equation, Hoffer proved, is known as the impedance index used in BIA. [16] In 1983, Nyober validated the use of whole body electrical impedance to assess body composition ...

    A body composition analyzer is a device that assesses your BMI, muscle mass, and body fat. You may feel healthy, but you can still have fat build-up. I got a body composition analysis, which shows ...

  4. Stayhealthy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stayhealthy

    Stayhealthy, Inc. is a privately held corporation that creates web-enabled healthcare monitoring products. It was founded in the dot-com era by CEO John Collins, and produces devices that monitor and measure such aspects of one's health like blood pressure, heart rate, body weight, body mass index, body composition, body fat (adipose tissue), visual perception, and calories burned.

  5. Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    Pie charts of typical human body composition by percent of mass, and by percent of atomic composition (atomic percent) Body composition may be analyzed in various ways. This can be done in terms of the chemical elements present, or by molecular structure e.g., water , protein , fats (or lipids ), hydroxyapatite (in bones), carbohydrates (such ...

  6. Body composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_composition

    A wide variety of body composition measurement methods exist. The gold standard measurement technique for the 4-compartment model consists of a weight measurement, body density measurement using hydrostatic weighing or air displacement plethysmography, total body water calculation using isotope dilution analysis, and mineral content measurement by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). [1]

  7. 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 ...

  8. Lean body mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_body_mass

    Lean body mass (LBM), sometimes conflated with fat-free mass, is a component of body composition. Fat-free mass (FFM) is calculated by subtracting body fat weight from total body weight: total body weight is lean plus fat. In equations: LBM = BW − BF Lean body mass equals body weight minus body fat LBM + BF = BW

    Some reports state that participation at USAF fitness centers is up 30 percent since the new program was established. [4] In the Air Force, Airmen are given a score based on performance consisting of four components: waist circumference, situps, pushups, and a 1.5-mile run.
