The FatControl has a calculating device for IAC - Index of Body Adiposity. A new method that uses hip size as a reference for measuring body fat, different fat mass (fat) in lean body mass (muscle).
The IAC takes into account the user's gender and muscle mass. Generally women have more body fat than men, this increases the accuracy of the calculation, since we know that muscles weigh more than fat.
In general the larger the circumference of the hips in relation to height, the greater the chance of being overweight.

In addition to the IAC, the FatControl has over two calculators: BMI and IGC.
BMI is the older system, the user indicates the volume and how much mass is distributed, relating weight and height.
Although we do not consider muscle mass, categorizing people strong (heavy) as obese. The BMI is more accurate in cases of athletes and people who have low fat, helping to identify cases of excessive thinness and anorexia.
Since the PMI is simply the percentage of fat that the body has. The total body weight includes the values of body fat and lean mass (muscles, organs, blood, and everything else). To lead a healthy life is essential that the body has a sufficient amount of fat to perform vital functions in this way, a person can never wipe out all fat from the body, must balance it so that the body is shaped and shapely muscles begin to appear.
The percentage CGA suitable for men should be between 6% and 25%. For women, between 12% and 31% is considered healthy.
This method is very efficient because it considers not only the weight but also how it corresponds to fat.
