4.Taking a Measurement
The ratio of these is 60%-70% for resting metabolism, 20%-30% for daily activity, and 10% for diet induced
thermogenesis. This means that resting metabolism accounts for most of our daily energy consumption.
If our daily caloric intake exceeds the amount of energy required for these activities, the additional calories
can be stored as fat.
Body age varies according to Body composition and resting metabolism,
even if your height and weight is the same
The figures below shows some examples of body age.
The example on the left has a body age of 30, or average body composition for the actual age.
The example in the middle has a lower body fat percentage than average and higher resting metabolism,
which results in a body age of 25 that is younger than the actual age.
The example on the right has a higher body fat percentage than average and lower resting metabolism,
which results in a body age of 35 that is older than the actual age.
Example:
Actual age: 30 years old
Height:
1.58 m
