Gesamtfettvolumen
Gesamtfettvolumen refers to the total volume occupied by fat tissue within the body. It is a measure that can be used to assess an individual's body composition. While body mass index (BMI) is a common metric for assessing weight relative to height, it does not differentiate between fat mass and lean mass, such as muscle and bone. Gesamtfettvolumen, on the other hand, specifically quantifies the fat component.
Determining Gesamtfettvolumen can be achieved through various methods, including dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bioelectrical impedance analysis
Elevated Gesamtfettvolumen is often associated with health risks, particularly when fat is predominantly stored viscerally, meaning
