Statistics are used in [[GTA III Era]] games to indicate the current level of progression in that statistic.
Statistics are used in [[GTA III Era]] games to indicate progression in certain areas, or to enumerate certain activities -- for example, a "Longest wheelie" statistic will measure how long a player has sustained a wheelie on a motorcycle; "Packages collected" counts how many [[Hidden Packages]] a player has acquired; "Hospital visits" counts how many times a player has been [[Wasted]] on their current playthrough, etc.


Many of these statistics are also present in older [[GTA]] games, but they are not detailed here.

==HUD Stats==
These statistics are displayed onscreen during gameplay in the [[Heads Up Display]] (HUD).
Rather than recording progress or activities, these statistics are displayed onscreen during gameplay in the [[Heads Up Display]] (HUD), to give the player a greater awareness of the [[protagonist]]'s condition and situation.


*'''[[Health]]''' - Health indicates your character's condition.  When your health becomes depleted, you are [[Wasted]] and fail any mission you are on, sending you to the hospital.  Health can be regained by eating food, saving, or picking up a health "power-up."  Health is lost from many things, ranging from being shot to falling from heights.

[[GTA San Andreas]] has a number of additional statistics displayed either when holding the 'status' button or viewing them in the Main Menu.
[[GTA San Andreas]] has a number of additional statistics displayed either when holding the 'status' button or viewing them in the Main Menu.  These reflect CJ's physique, physical abilities and expertise; unlike in other GTA games, these change according to the player's actions.


 
*'''Fat''' - This statistic measures [[CJ]]'s body fat. Fat is increased by eating [[food]]. Fat is decreased by exercising, either at a [[gym]] or in the world at large. Being overweight naturally changes CJ's appearance, and eventually lessens most physical capabilities (including health), but CJ is required to have at least a small amount of fat -- without it, exercising will reduce CJ's health instead of his fat.
*'''Fat''' - This statistic indicates [[CJ]]'s current weight. Fat is increased by eating [[food]], which (along with cost) reduces the benefits of increasing health that way. Fat is decreased by exercising. CJ is required to have at least a small amount of fat, otherwise exercising will reduce health instead of fat. If CJ is too fat for a period of time, he will begin to lose health.


:Food is available at [[Well Stacked Pizza Co.]], [[Cluckin' Bell]], and [[Burger Shot]], and their meals will add either 0, 1, 2, or 3% to your fat stat.

:For every 150 seconds of running, or every 100 seconds of biking or [[swimming]], you will shed 1.5% fat.  At a gym, this is much faster - on the treadmill or stationary bike, you will shed 2.5% fat every 14 seconds.  When lifting weights, you will shed 2.5% fat for each repetition. Also, if you wait 48 [[time|ingame hours]] without eating, you will shed fat at a rate of 2.5% per hour.

*'''Muscle''' - This indicates CJ's current muscular condition. Muscle also influences the [[Respect]] and [[Sex Appeal]] stats. Muscle is increased by working out at a [[Gym]] or exercising. 100% muscle is detrimental to Sex appeal and will actually prevent [[CJ]] from initiating contact with some [[girlfriends]]
*'''Muscle''' - This indicates CJ's muscular development. Muscle influences the [[Respect]] and [[Sex Appeal]] stats. Muscle is increased by working out at a gym, or otherwise exercising (running, riding bikes, swimming). A 100% muscle statistic is detrimental to Sex appeal and will prevent [[CJ]] from initiating contact with some [[girlfriends]]


:Using the treadmill or stationary bike at a gym for 14 seconds will gain 1% muscle. Lifting weights will gain 1% muscle for each repetition. 150 seconds of running in-game, or 100 seconds of swimming or biking, will cause you to gain 1% muscle.

*'''Respect''' - Respect indicates your level of influence over your gang. High Respect allows you to recruit gang members. Respect is increased in many [[Missions]] and through [[Gang Wars]]. Respect is lost by not wearing [[clothing|gang colors]] in gang territory. CJ will also lose respect if he kills members of the [[Grove Street Families]] or loses territory to other gangs.
*'''Respect''' - Respect indicates your level of influence over your gang. Having high enough Respect allows you to recruit gang members. Many [[missions]] increase Respect when completed, as do successful [[Gang Wars]]. Respect is lost by not wearing [[clothing|gang colors]] in gang territory. CJ will also lose respect if he kills members of the [[Grove Street Families]] or loses territory to other gangs.


*'''Sex Appeal''' - This statistic indicates how girls will react to you. It is influenced by your [[Vehicles in GTA San Andreas|Vehicle]], [[Barbers|Hairstyle]], [[Clothing in GTA San Andreas|Clothing]], Fat, and [[Muscle]].
*'''Sex Appeal''' - This statistic indicates how girls will react to you. It is influenced by your [[Vehicles in GTA San Andreas|Vehicle]], [[Barbers|Hairstyle]], [[Clothing in GTA San Andreas|Clothing]], Fat, and [[Muscle]]. Collecting all 50 [[Oysters]] can prevent some of the pitfalls of low Sex Appeal (girlfriends being dissatisfied with CJ's appearance, or potential girlfriends not wanting to talk to CJ)


*'''Stamina''' - The Stamina statistic indicates endurance with regards to running, swimming, and cycling. Low stamina means you will grow fatigued easily and stop sprinting after short distances. Stamina has to be built up over the course of the entire game by exercising. In [[GTA: Vice City Stories]], a stamina bar also exists whenever the player is in the water. If it runs out, the player will drown.

:For every 150 seconds of swimming, or every 300 seconds for running or biking, you will gain 5% Stamina.  At the [[Gyms]], the treadmill and stationary bike bike will grant you 4% Stamina for every 14 seconds.

*'''Oxygen''' - Oxygen represents how long you can hold your breath underwater. Your level of Oxygen is displayed whenever you [[Swimming|dive]] underwater. Oxygen is extended with lots of diving.
*'''Oxygen''' - Oxygen represents how long CJ can hold his breath underwater. An oxygen meter is displayed whenever CJ [[Swimming|dives]] underwater. Lung capacity is increased by swimming underwater for extended periods, and by collecting [[Oysters]].
