    Glossary Body Fat Percentage

    proportion of body mass composed of fat tissue

    Body Fat Percentage (BF%) is a measure that indicates the proportion of a person's body mass that is made up of fat tissue. It is calculated by dividing the total mass of fat by the total body mass and multiplying by 100. This metric is important for assessing overall health, fitness levels, and potential risks for conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
