Body Mass Index (BMI) refers to a measure that uses your height and weight to work
out if your weight is healthy. Refer to the table below for reference.
Body fat percentage refers to the percentage of subcutaneous fat (outer fat) closest
to the skin in the body. Men and women have a different distribution of body fat so it
is normal for body fat percentage to vary based on gender. Refer to the table below
for the normal ranges for body fat percentage as a percentage of total body weight
for reference.
