It's possible to estimate the percentage of fat in the body bymeasuring the resistance of the upper leg rather than the upperarm; the calculation is similar. A person's leg measures40 cm between the knee and the hip, with an average legdiameter (ignoring bone and other poorly conducting tissue) of12 cm . A potential difference of 0.74 V causesa current of 1.6 mA .
What are the fractions of muscle and fat in the leg?
