- Abstract
Background: There is an increased prevalence of obesity which is an important risk factor for cardiovascular and mortality risk. Because of the large population, a preferred method of measuring body fat should be simple, portable, and reliable. This study was aimed at measuring the body composition of Indian adults using the Karada scan Omron HBF-701 model. Methods: 64 healthy adults participated in this study including 30 males and 34 females with a mean age of 21 ± 2.60 years and a mean body mass index of 22.58 ± 2.85 kg/m². The measurement was taken with the prescribed guidelines. Results: The results included mean fat % 25.31 ± 6.01, body age 28.96 ± 8.29, resting metabolism 1422.13 ± 227.86 kcal, visceral fat % 4.90 ± 2.97, subcutaneous fat % 19.74 ± 6.09, total muscle mass 31.20 ± 6.27, arms fat % 31.27 ± 10.81, trunk fat % of 16.89 ± 5.43, and legs fat % 29.43 ± 9.45. Conclusion: This study concluded that the Karada scan is a novel and rapid method to reliably measure the different variables of body composition.
