Its possible to estimate the percentage of fat in the body


It's possible to estimate the percentage of fat in the body by measuring the resistance of the upper leg rather than the upper arm; the calculation is similar. A person's leg meas-ures 40cm between the knee and the hip, with an average leg diameter (ignoring bone and other poorly conducting tissue) of 12cm . A potential difference of 0.80V causes a current of 1.6mA .

What are the fractions of muscle and fat in the leg?
