Basic Concepts• 1 pound of fat = 3500 calories• Body Composition
– Lean Body Mass– Body Fat
• Essential fat 3-5% of total fat in men, 8-12% in women• Nonessential fat-(storage) –Located just below the skin
– Depends on many factors:» Gender» Age» Heredity» Metabolism» Diet activity level
– Women: <8% at risk, Average 23%, > 32% at risk – Men: < 5% at risk, Average 15%, > 25% at risk

Evaluating Body Weight and Body Composition• Percent body fat and distribution of body fat =
weather a change on body composition would improve health.
• Overweight –above recommended range for good health
• Obesity – a more serious degree of overweight
• Height-Weight charts
• Body Mass Index (BMI)– Weight in pounds X 703 / Height in inches (squared)
• Body Composition

Body Mass Index (BMI)• National Institutes of Health
– Under 18.5 is classified underweight– Between 18.5 and 24.9 is healthy– Greater than 25 is overweight– Greater than 30 is obese
• Measurement. Example: 5’6” tall, 150 pounds1. Multiply weight (in pounds) by 704
– 150 X 704 =105,600
2. Multiply height (in inches) by height (in inches)– 66 X 66 = 4,356
3. Divide the answer in step 1 by the answer in step 2 to obtain a value for BMI
– BMI = 105,600 / 4,356 = 24.2

Body Composition Analysis
• Hydrostatic (underwater) weighing– Most accurate
• Skinfold measurements– Thickness of fat under the skin
• Electrical Impedance Analysis– Electricity prefers lean tissue

The Health Risks of Excess Body Fat• Obese individuals have a mortality rate twice that of non-
obese– Reduces life expectancy by 10-20 years– Associated with: Unhealthy cholesterol and triglycerides, impaired heart
