hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.
Visceral fat generally occupies 10 ~ 20 % of body fat and visceral obesity is assessed based
on the indicators below.
- the cross sectional fat area between L4 ~ L5 is 100 cm
2
and over
- the visceral fat to subcutaneous fat ratio is 0.4 and over
- the waist to hip ratio (W.H.R.) is over 0.9 (male) / 0.85 (female)
- the circumference of waist is over 102 cm/45 inches (male) _ 88 cm / 35 inches (female)
Visceral fat increases after 30s in men and after
Menopause
in women. It is more common in
men than women and the old than the young. Visceral fat tends to increase with aging.
Because the combustion rate per minute of visceral fat is higher than that of subcutaneous
fat, visceral fat can be easily reduced by exercise or dietary control in case of abdominal
obesity. W.H.R. is the ratio of waist to hip circumference and has relation to one’s figure.
6. Segmental Analysis
This device analyzes soft lean mass, body fat mass, total body water and E.C.W./T.B.W. of
five body parts; trunk, right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg. This function can be used as
an assessment tool to evaluate the result of exercise or rehabilitation treatment.
7. Age Matched of Body
It is the estimated physical age of the subject considering body composition analysis result,
gender, and biological age. This is calculated by comparing the optimal body composition
based on the gender and biological age of the subject with the actual analyzed body
composition. It can be used to evaluate the subject’s health and body development.
8. Study
It is the provided impedance.
Impedance indicates the segmental impedance of five body parts (left and right arms, left and
right legs, and trunk) corresponding to each frequency (1~ 1000 kHz).
