* body fat
nonfat tissues
*Fat-free tissues
Body fat includes:
•? fat
•Fat stored in fat cells (?)
•Fat located in ? (under the skin) and around major organs (?)
- Essential
- Adipose tissue
- Subcutaneous fat
- Visceral fat
the proportion of the body’s total weight that is fat
Percent body fat
- total body weight above the recommended range for good health
- more serious degree of overweight that carries multiple health risks
- Overweight
* Obesity
Several methods are used to measure and evaluate body weight and percent body fat
*Body composition
•Body mass index (BMI)
•Body fat distribution
Estimating Body Composition
- Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)
- Skinfold measurement
- Scanning procedures
Scanning Procedures
*CT scan
•MRI
•Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
•Dual-photon absorptiometry
is useful for classifying the health risks of body weight
•Correlated with but does not directly measure body fat
Body mass index (BMI)
(in kilograms) divided by the square of height (in meters)
Body weight
Standards set by the NIH: •Between 18.5 and 24.9 is ? •Greater than 25 is ? •Greater than 30 is ? •Below 18.5 is classified as ?, although low BMI values may be healthy in some cases
- healthy
- overweight
- obese
- underweight

Pear shape: ?
•Fat storage in the hips, buttocks, and thighs

•Immune system ? insulin-producing cells in the ?
•Type 2 diabetes
•Strongly associated with ? body fat
•Pancreas does not produce enough ?, body cells have become ?, or both
