Body fat percentage
Body fat percentage estimates how much of your body weight comes from fat mass.
Also known as: Body fat % · BF%
The number can be estimated by different methods, such as skinfolds, bioimpedance, imaging or measurement-based equations. Every method carries a margin of error.
The most useful approach is comparing measurements taken the same way over time, instead of treating a single reading as absolute truth.
