Visceral fat and metabolism

Fat in the abdominal cavity, body circumferences and resting energy expenditure. These are the values most often confused with total body fat.

Where to find it: The Visceral Fat Analysis, circumferences and basal metabolic rate.

Values in this section

Visceral fatVFAVisceral Fat Area estimates how much space fat stored around the internal organs would occupy in a cross-section of the abdomen; it is given in cm².
Visceral fat levelVFLVisceral Fat Level is the estimate of fat around the organs converted onto a coarse whole-number scale.
Basal metabolic rateBMRBasal Metabolic Rate estimates the energy your body uses over 24 hours at complete rest for basic life functions; InBody calculates it from fat free mass.
Recommended intakeRecommended Calorie Intake is the device rough estimate of how much energy to take in per day; the manufacturer does not publish the equation behind it.
Obesity DegreeObesity Degree expresses your weight as a percentage of a reference weight derived from height; it says nothing about body composition.
Waist-hip ratioWHRThe waist-hip ratio compares waist circumference with hip circumference and describes whether fat is stored centrally around the abdomen or lower on the hips and thighs.
Waist circumferenceWaist circumference on an InBody result sheet is an estimate calculated from body composition rather than a tape-measured value — unless the Yscope module is attached.
Waist-height ratioWHtRThe waist-height ratio relates waist circumference to body height, so it describes central fat storage independently of how tall you are.
ECM/BCMECM/BCMThe ECM/BCM ratio compares extracellular mass with body cell mass and serves as a supplementary indicator of nutritional status.
Arm circumferenceACArm Circumference and Arm Muscle Circumference are estimates of upper-limb dimensions that the manual uses as simple nutritional indicators.
Body shape indicesBody shape indices are supplementary research measures that relate body circumferences to height, weight or muscle mass in various ways.
Body circumferencesBody circumferences are estimates of the dimensions of eight sites — neck, chest, abdomen, hips, both arms and both thighs — derived from body composition.
Limb fatArm and leg fat is an estimate of the fat mass stored in the limbs, that is outside the trunk.
