(4) Shall we check if my body is well balanced?
This part shows the measured values of three weight, skeletal muscle mass, and body fat mass, and their relative
comparison in figures and in bar graphs. The figures next to the bar graphs indicate the measured values of each
composition while the length of the graphs does the percentages against ideal values for each. One hundred percentage
of the normal range refers the ideal values of each composition based on subject's ideal weight. Thus it is easy to
recognize the balance of body components through the relative lengths of bar
graphs against the 100% ideal values.
①
Weight (kg)
100% ideal weight indicates the ideal value for the subject’s height. Ideal weight is obtained from BMI ideal weight
calculation.
Ideal weight (kg) = Ideal BMI (kg/m
2
) the square of the height in meters (m
2
) Ideal BMI follows young children’s BMI by
height and gender.
② Skeletal Muscle Mass (kg)
Muscle in this part refers to the skeletal muscles attached to the bones. 100% ideal skeletal muscle mass indicates the
ideal amount of skeletal muscle mass that one should have when the subject has an ideal weight.
In particular, as bone development actively progresses during a growth period, it is necessary to have a well-developed
skeletal muscle mass to supports smooth growth of bones.
③
Body Fat Mass (kg)
100% ideal body fat mass is the amount of body fat mass one should have when one has an ideal weight. The bar graph
shows the percentage of the current body fat mass divided by ideal body fat mass to display the degree of appropriate
amount of body fat.
Ideal body fat mass is what one should have when one has an ideal weight.
