Body Composition Analysis
Body composition analysis measures the proportions of fat mass, lean muscle mass, bone mineral content and body water in an individual’s body, offering a far more detailed assessment than weight or Body Mass Index (BMI) alone. By quantifying how much of your body is made up of fat versus how much is lean tissue (muscle, bone, organs) and fluid, this method can give clearer insight into metabolic health, risk of chronic disease, nutritional status and effectiveness of training or lifestyle interventions.
Whether in a medical context or a wellness program, body composition analysis delivers key value by :
Identifying whether weight loss is coming primarily from fat or from muscle (important for preserving functionality and metabolism)
Tracking muscle mass and bone health especially in aging, rehabilitation or athletic populations
Tailoring nutrition, training and hydration strategies based on actual composition rather than gross weight alone
Monitoring changes in body water, which can influence metabolism, performance and measurement accuracy.
