Body fat level measurement refers to the assessment of the proportion of fat tissue within one’s total body composition — imagine quantifying the amount of butter in a stick.
Knowing one’s body fat level is crucial for maintaining overall health, as it can indicate the risk of developing chronic diseases such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Advancements like the development of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) devices have revolutionized the accessibility and accuracy of body fat measurement.
