MEASUREMENT DATA
Body Fat Rate
Body fat rate measures the amount of fat in one’s body in proportion to their
total weight. Obesity is best determined by one’s fat rate as opposed to their
total weight.
Basal Metabolic Rate
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) measures the amount of energy that one must use
during the course of the day to maintain vital activities such as breathing,
heat preservation and keeping a consistent heartbeat
Water
Water simply measures the amount of water in one’s body in proportion to their
total weight. Females typically have a water rate of 45-60% while males
typically have a rate of 55-65%
Bone Mass
The amount of bone measures the amount of bone salt or minerals in the bones.
The bones are constantly part of an active metabolism with calcium needed to
replenish the bones. Being too thin or not exercising enough can lead to bone
loss.
Visceral Fat
Visceral fat specifically refers to fat that held near the stomach and
midsection. This fat is easy to accumulate and can be a leading indicator of
potential disease.
