 Body Composition:
•B
‌ody composition is a term
used often by doctors and
health professionals. It
refers to the percentage of
fat, bone, and muscle in your
body. Doctors use body
composition to see if you're
at a healthy weight for your
individual body.
Why Body Composition is
important?
• Body Composition is important
because it measures your
overall health and fitness
level in terms of your body
fat percentage. Your bathroom
scale can’t tell the
difference between how much of
your weight comes from fat and
how much from muscle. But body
composition measurements can.
Body Composition vs.
BMI
• Body mass index only
evaluates an individual's
height and weight. Body
composition evaluates the
breakdown of fat and fat
free mass, giving a better
estimate of fitness level
and health risk.
 BMI:
• BMI is a tool that has been used
by health professionals to assess
body fatness and health.
• It’s a mathematical equation that
compares your weight to your
height.
• BMI = kg/m2 where kg is a person's
weight in kilograms and m2 is
their height in metres squared.
How to calculate BMI:

BMI = kg/m2

Where: kg is a person's
weight in kilograms and
m2 is their height in
metres squared.
