D. Understanding InBody Outputs
Body fat mass and muscle mass change with diet and exercise.
• Weight : Total body mass
Weight is the total mass of the human body.
• Percent Body Fat
A person's body fat percentage is the total fat mass divided by the person's weight.
It consists of essential body fat and storage body fat. Although the weight is same,
the percentages of fat or muscle mass can be different. Therefore, body fat percentage
is an essential item for diagnosing obesity. The standard range is 10-20% for men
and 18-28% for women. The standard body fat percentage differs for children under
18 depending on their gender and height.
• Muscle Mass : Skeletal Muscle Mass
Skeletal muscle represents the majority of muscle tissue and powers movement of
the skeleton. Skeletal muscle is innervated by the somatic nervous system and is
subject to voluntary control. This is the muscle that is influenced the most by physical
activity.
• Visceral Fat
: Fat surrounding the major organs
Fat around organs is shown in levels between 1 and 20. People with visceral fat
levels above 10 are considered unhealthy and are at higher risk for diseases like
heart disease, cancer and sleep apnea.
: Total mass of fat mass divided by total body mass
