The body fat rate should be kept within the normal range. If the body fat rate is too high and the weight exceeds 20% of the normal value, it can be regarded as obesity. Body fat percentage refers to the proportion of body fat weight in the whole body weight, also known as body fat percentage, which reflects the body fat content.
Extended data:
Pathological increase; Cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, hypertension, nephropathy, diabetes, osteoarthritis, gout, fatty liver, cholecystitis, abnormal menstruation, pregnancy complications, dystocia, risks in surgery (hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy, dystocia), etc.
Pathological decrease: too low body fat rate will cause dysfunction. If the body fat rate is too low, athletes' performance will drop, and female athletes will cause amenorrhea.
Diet therapy and exercise therapy should be used at the same time to reduce calorie intake and increase calorie consumption through exercise to achieve the effect of losing weight. Dieting to lose weight without exercise will only reduce muscle but not fat, on the contrary, it will reduce basal metabolism and easily gain weight again.
