How to calculate BMI body fat percentage? What does BMI mean?

Every time I weigh myself, I always find an indicator called BMI. How is this indicator calculated? What does BMI mean?

1. The body fat percentage calculation formula for adult women is:

Parameter a = waist circumference (cm) × 0.74;

Parameter b = body weight (kg) × 0.082 + 34.89;

Body fat weight (kg) = a - b;

Body fat percentage = (total body fat weight ÷ body weight) × 100%;

2. The body fat percentage calculation formula for adult men is:

Parameter a = waist circumference (cm) × 0.74;

Parameter b = body weight (kg) × 0.082 + 44.74;

Body fat weight (kg) = a - b;

Body fat percentage = (total body fat weight ÷ body weight) × 100%.

BIM and body fat percentage are not the same thing. You must pay more attention when searching on Baidu. The body fat percentage is BMI, not BIM. Of course, there is a very close relationship between body fat percentage and weight loss. The above has a detailed introduction about what BIM is and I hope it can help you.

Does BMI mean body fat percentage?

BMI generally refers to the body mass index method, which can reflect the percentage of body fat increase and measure the degree of obesity. The body fat rate generally refers to the proportion of body fat in the total body weight. BMI = weight (kg) / height squared (㎡); body fat percentage = (total body fat weight ÷ weight) x 100%; if you find that your BMI is higher than 24, quickly measure it and prepare to lose fat.

The difference between BMI and body fat percentage: The main difference lies in the definitions and calculation methods of BMI and body fat percentage, and these two points are also relatively easy to distinguish.

What is the body fat percentage considered thin?

Generally speaking, men with a body fat percentage of 5%-10% and women with a body fat percentage of 5%-20% are considered thin.

Body fat percentage, as the name implies, is the ratio of body fat to body weight. This indicator is also an important criterion for whether the body is healthy, and it is also a more scientific basis for judging obesity. Generally speaking, most people use the bioimpedance measurement method. For normal adults, the body fat percentage is about 15%-18% for male friends and about 25%-28% for female friends. In other words, everyone needs to keep their body fat percentage within this normal range to maintain their health and have a perfect curvy figure. In fact, due to differences in gender and body structure, the standard deviation of normal body fat percentage is relatively large for men and women.

In order to control the body fat percentage within the normal range, it is very important to develop good living habits. Diet therapy and exercise therapy should be adopted at the same time to lose weight, reduce calorie intake, and increase calorie consumption through exercise to achieve the effect of weight loss. What needs to be paid attention to is that if you only rely on dieting without exercise to lose weight, it will often only reduce muscle but not fat, and it will also reduce basal metabolism, which will make it easier to gain weight again, and it is not good for human health.
