ABSTRACT:
A non-invasive method for the measurement of body fat which may be used to measure living objects. A pair of airtight chambers are used to measure the body volume which is determined by the change in pressure resulting from the presence of the body in an enclosed chamber and utilizing Boyle's law. The second chamber in which the object is to be placed may be of known or unknown volume and hence can be adjustable. The fat fraction of the body is computed from the known relationship between body density and fat.
