To calculate the body fat weight (\(BFW\)):
\[ BFW = \left( \frac{BFP}{100} \right) \times TW \]
Where:
Body fat weight is the total weight of fat in a person’s body. It is calculated by multiplying the body fat percentage by the total body weight. This measurement is important for understanding body composition and overall health. A higher body fat percentage can indicate a higher risk for various health conditions, while a lower body fat percentage can be a sign of better fitness and health.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ BFW = \left( \frac{20}{100} \right) \times 70 = 14 \text{ kg} \]
The body fat weight is 14 kg.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ BFW = \left( \frac{25}{100} \right) \times 80 = 20 \text{ kg} \]
The body fat weight is 20 kg.
