Abstract

This study was conducted to identify BMI levels and abdominal fat content among non-academic UPSI staff based on gender. The instruments used are the Omron Krada Body Fat Analyzer and the High Performance Tool (Charder). The study subjects consisted of UPSI non-academic staff (n = 130). The findings showed that the BMI and abdominal fat content of non-academic staff was lower than that of female staff. The implications of this finding can be stimulating for everyone to adopt a healthy lifestyle which in turn has a positive impact and can improve the quality of health and prevent individuals from suffering from illness.
