What is Body Fat Percentage?
Percentage of body fat in body weight.
Body fat percentage (%) = {Body fat weight (kg) / Body weight (kg)} × 100
HBF-702T uses the BI method to estimate your body fat percentage.
Mention body fat and a bad impression is always given. However, in fact, body fat plays roles in energy
storage and viscera protection, etc. Too much body fat is naturally not good, but too little is not conducive
to good health.
What is Visceral Fat Level?
Visceral fat = fat surrounding internal organs
Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased levels
of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common diseases such
as hyperlipidemia and diabetes, which impairs the ability of insulin to
transfer energy from the bloodstream and using it in cells. In order to
prevent or improve conditions of common diseases, it is important to try
and reduce visceral fat levels to an acceptable level.
What is Subcutaneous Fat Percentage?
Subcutaneous fat = fat below the skin
Percentage of subcutaneous fat weight in body weight.
Subcutaneous fat percentage (%)=
{subcutaneous fat weight (kg)/body weight (kg)}×100
Subcutaneous fat percentage of different parts refer to the percentage of
subcutaneous fat weight in weight of all parts.
What is Skeletal Muscle Percentage?
Percentage of skeletal muscle weight in body weight.
Muscle is divided into two types, muscle in internal organs, such as the heart, and muscle attached
to bones that is used to move the body. Skeletal muscle can be increased through exercise and other
activity.
Even if the body muscle does not make any movement, it also consumes a certain amount of energy
in one day and emits heat. Heat plays a part in "body temperature maintenance" of resting metabolism.
If muscle weight is reduced, energy consumption within 1 day will be reduced. we need to know our
resting metabolism and keep exercising to maintain and increase skeletal muscle weight.
What is Resting Metabolism?
Regardless of your activity level, a minimum level of caloric intake is required to sustain the body’s
everyday functions. Known as the resting metabolism, this indicates how many calories you need to
ingest in order to provide enough energy for your body to function.
What is Body Age?
Body age is based on your resting metabolism. Body age is calculated by using your weight, body fat
percentage and skeletal muscle percentage to produce a guide to judge whether your body age is
above or below the average for your actual age. To know your body age is useful to improve your health
condition.
