Visceral Fat Estimate — सूत्र
## Visceral Fat Estimation
Visceral fat surrounds internal organs and is strongly linked to metabolic disease. While a DEXA or CT scan provides exact measurement, waist circumference and BMI are practical proxies.
### Scoring Model
**Score = (Waist(cm) - 65) / 5 + Age / 15 + BMI / 8**
### Risk Levels
| Score | Level |
|---|---|
| 1-9 | Normal |
| 10-14 | Elevated |
| 15+ | High |
Waist circumference above 40 inches for men is an independent risk factor.

हल किया गया उदाहरण
A 35-year-old male, 180 lbs, 70 inches, 36-inch waist.
- BMI = (180 x 703) / (70 x 70) = 25.8
- Waist = 36 x 2.54 = 91.4 cm
- Score = (91.4 - 65) / 5 + 35 / 15 + 25.8 / 8
- = 5.3 + 2.3 + 3.2 = 11 (Elevated)
