Description

The CUN Measurement Scale (abbreviation for the Clínica Universidad de Navarra Body Adiposity Estimator) is a tool used to estimate body adiposity (body fat percentage) based on anthropometric data. It was developed to provide an alternative to traditional methods like BMI (Body Mass Index), offering a more accurate assessment of body fat levels without requiring advanced equipment. Features: 1. Purpose: Designed to evaluate body fat percentage for health and fitness purposes. Useful in identifying obesity-related risks more accurately than BMI. 2. Parameters Used: Age Gender Weight Height 3. Calculation: The CUN scale uses a formula that combines these parameters to provide an estimate of total body fat percentage. Often presented as an online calculator or integrated into health assessment software. 4. Advantages Over BMI: BMI only considers weight and height, potentially misclassifying muscular individuals or those with normal weight but high fat percentages. The CUN scale accounts for variations in body composition due to age and gender, offering a more nuanced analysis. Applications: Health risk assessments in clinical and fitness settings. Tracking body fat changes over time during weight management programs. Research studies focused on obesity and metabolic health.
