Understanding Body Composition

Body Composition Basics

Body composition refers to the percentages of fat, bone, water, and muscle in your body. Unlike weight alone, body composition gives you a better understanding of your overall health and fitness.

Key Components:

  • Essential Fat: 3-5% (men), 10-13% (women) - Necessary for basic physical functions
  • Storage Fat: Additional fat stored for energy
  • Lean Body Mass: Everything except fat (muscle, bone, organs, water)

Measurement Methods

Navy Method

Uses neck, waist, and hip circumferences. Accuracy: ±3-4%

Skinfold Calipers

Measures fat thickness at specific sites. Accuracy: ±3-5%

DEXA Scan

Gold standard using X-ray technology. Accuracy: ±1-2%

Health Implications

Body fat percentage is a better indicator of health than weight or BMI alone.

Health Risks by Body Fat %:

  • Too Low: Hormone disruption, weakened immune system
  • Healthy Range: Optimal physical and mental performance
  • Too High: Increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, joint problems

Common Myths Debunked

  • Myth: Muscle weighs more than fat
    Truth: Muscle is denser - takes up less space for the same weight
  • Myth: You can target fat loss in specific areas
    Truth: Fat loss occurs throughout the body based on genetics
  • Myth: Lower body fat is always better
    Truth: Essential fat is necessary for health

Body Fat Percentage

We estimate this number using trusted methods (ADA, Navy, BMI, Skinfold) designed for seniors. A good target is usually 15–25% for men and 23–35% for women.

Fat Mass

This tells you how much of your weight comes from fat tissues. We get the figure by multiplying your body fat percentage by your total weight. Keeping fat mass in the healthy zone helps lower your chances of heart disease, diabetes, and joint problems.

Calculation Methods
