Influence of Body Parts Measurements with Low and High Risk of Obesity Using Male Human Body Fat Percentage

Abstract

There are many indicators of the body that inform about the health of a person. In these indicators, Body-Fat-Percentage (BFP) is an important factor that classifies the low and high risk of obesity. Obesity is one of the silent killer illnesses that make people lazy and unable to perform their daily routine work smoothly. BFP factor distinguishes the status of normal and obese persons.  In this study, we identified that all body measurements including density and age have significant differences between Low and High risk of obesity. Human body measurement factors are density (den), age, weight (w), height (h), neck (n), chest (c), abdomen (abd), hip, thigh (t), knee (K), ankle (A), biceps (b), forearm (f), and wrist (w) body measures. Screening of data was performed by removing outliers using Box-Whisker plots from all factors. Box-Whisker plot constructed through R software using package ggplot2.  Comparison of body parts measurements based on Low-Risk and High-Risk using two-sample t-tests done through SPSS software.
