Body Fat % used to calculate obesity
At my new workplace in Poole, Herbalife gave a free "Personal Body Analysis", a 1 minute test for body fat percentage (body fat %). At 168 pounds and 5'7.5" and 57 years I had BMI 25.9 and 29.7% body fat.
Tanita have an explanation and wall charts showing that I am classed as obese (just) based on body fat % basis. The wall chart was based Gallagher et al in 2000 according to Tanita.
Body Fat Ranges for standard adults
For males 40-59 years a healthy body fat % is 11-21%.
Tanita's Body Fat Monitors and Body Composition Monitors use Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to help calculate results.
