To investigate differences in body composition among female college students with varying BF% using DEXA, and to explore its potential implications for early obesity risk identification and targeted clinical intervention. A total 80 participants were divided into three groups according to BF% degrees: mild obesity group (BF% 30%-35%, N = 14), moderate obesity group (BF% 35%-40%, N = 38), and severe obesity group (BF% > 40%, N = 28). DEXA was used to assess body composition distribution in female college students with differing degrees of obesity. Within the cohort of female college students. With mild, moderate, and severe obesity groups, significant differences were observed in TFM, A/G, Android %fat, Gynoid %fat, AFM, GFM, VFA, VFM, VFV, SFA, SFM, and SFV ( P 0.05). This study shows that BF% is a reliable and accurate measure for evaluating and classifying female obesity. As BF% degrees rise (mild, moderate, and severe obesity group), fat accumulation in specific areas significantly increases, while lean tissue shows no significant changes. The characteristics of alterations in body composition may adversely affect the general health of female college students.
