Her waist circumference is below the commonly used threshold for increased metabolic risk, and BIA can estimate her fat mass and lean soft tissue mass.

Her waist circumference indicates a high risk of metabolic complications, and BIA directly measures the distribution of abdominal fat.

Her waist circumference indicates increased metabolic risk, and BMI can be used to directly measure her body fat percentage.

Her waist circumference indicates no abdominal adiposity, and skinfold measurements can directly quantify visceral adipose tissue.
