Athletes are usually included in the overweight muscle type. As such, such people can easily be included in the obese category when BMI alone is used. This person does not need to undertake weight control measures. Obesity Diagnosis InBody720’s obesity diagnosis uses BMI (Body Mass Index) and PBF (Percent Body Fat) to determine obesity levels. BMI (Body Mass Index, ㎏/㎡) The formula is BMI= Weight (kg)/Height ).
Page 81
Lean Balance InBody720 measures the soft lean mass of the body segments. There are two bar graphs for each body part in the Lean Balance graph. The two graphs have different meanings. The number at the end of the upper bar graph is the amount in Kg of soft lean mass in each area. If the upper bar graph reaches 100%, it means that the person has ideal soft lean mass for his or her ideal weight.
