  2. Lean body mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_body_mass

    Lean body mass equals body weight minus body fat LBM + BF = BW Lean body mass plus body fat equals body weight. LBM differs from FFM in that cellular membranes are included in LBM although this is only a small percent difference in the body's mass (up to 3% in men and 5% in women) [1] The percentage of total body mass that is lean is usually ...

    Whether “too high,” “too low,” or “just right,” your body mass index (a.k.a. BMI) has historically been used as an evaluation of health. However, it’s been a controversial ...

  4. Body fat percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_fat_percentage

    A correction is made for the buoyancy of air in the lungs and other gases in the body spaces. If there were no errors whatsoever in measuring body density, the uncertainty in fat estimation would be about ± 3.8% of the body weight, primarily because of normal variability in body constituents.

    When you reduce your body weight, an estimated 20 to 40 percent of the total lost is lean mass. The remaining 60 to 80 percent is fat mass. The remaining 60 to 80 percent is fat mass.

  6. Weight management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_management

    Sometimes the term Resting Metabolic (RMR) is used in place of BMR, but RMR is not solely measured under the previously listed stringent conditions and it is about 10% more than BMR. [18] The BMR is directly proportional to a person's lean body mass. [5] [18] In other words, the more lean body mass a person has, the higher their BMR. BMR is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    Parts-per-million cube of relative abundance by mass of elements in an average adult human body down to 1 ppm. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium ...

  8. 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]

  9. Obesity and the environment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_and_the_environment

    Advocates believe that healthy food is a right of all people in every country, and that people should participate in food production and consumption decisions.
