Men's Health Considerations

Muscle Mass

Men typically have higher muscle mass, which can result in a higher BMI even with healthy body composition. Consider body fat percentage for a more accurate assessment.

Body Shape

Men tend to store fat around the abdomen. Waist circumference combined with BMI provides better insight into health risks.

Age-Related Changes

Muscle mass and metabolism changes with age affect body composition. Regular strength training helps maintain healthy weight.
