LOINC description : Body fat mass is calculated by multiplying a patient's body weight times their body
fat percentage (see [LOINC: 41982-0] and [LOINC: 77233-5]). Body fat percentage can
be measured by several techniques, including underwater weighing, Dual energy X-ray
absorptiometry (DEXA), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and skinfold estimation

is typically calculated by dividing a person's body mass divided by the square of
their height. LOINC has several codes for BMI.;
