[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 882327, member: 85347"] Measuring the degree of fat within the body accurately is a very difficult thing. The lean Body Mass and Body mass Index (BMI) is flawed and inaccurate. It's worth considering a simpler and what is now rapidly becoming a better method of measuring Body Mass and hence Fat Deposit within the body using the Waist to Height Ratio (wHtR). This system uses any measurement type (metric or imperial) and for optimum results everyone over the age of 12 should aim to keep their waist measurement half (50%) of their height. As you can see a very much simpler and more accurate method of assessing body mass.. If you want to find out more on this revised method of body measurement that's slowly replacing the BMI measuring system then if you simply Google 'Ashwell shape chart' it should give you better and more detaile information. Hope this is of some use. [/QUOTE]
