Screening
Body Composition Analysis
Measurement of body fat percentage, muscle mass, and distribution.
PLAIN ENGLISH
Patient-Friendly Explanation
Body composition analysis goes beyond the scale. It tells you how much of your weight is fat vs muscle vs water. This helps track real progress — you might be losing fat while gaining muscle.
MEDICAL
Clinical Definition
Methods include bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), DXA scanning, and skinfold measurements. BIA estimates body fat % and segmental muscle mass. Visceral fat area > 100 cm² indicates elevated metabolic risk.
KEY INSIGHT
Why It Matters
Scale weight alone can be misleading. Body composition tracking ensures weight loss comes from fat, not muscle. Regular monitoring helps adjust treatment strategies.
