Project Details
Fitness Wave Nor Cal is collecting measurements of a wide range of individuals as part of our long term goal of replacing the BMI! We have gathered participants and are sorting by age, gender, ethnicity, BMI, Fat % and other categories in order to develop a better understanding of at risk groups. As the project proceeds, we target specific, underrepresented populations.
