Body Composition Analysis refers to a method of measuring the various components that make up the human body, typically focusing on fat mass, lean body mass (muscle, bones, water), and other vital elements.
● The proportion of your body weight that is fat.
● A key indicator of health risks such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
● Ideal body fat percentage varies by age, gender, and fitness level.
● This is the weight of everything in the body excluding fat, such as muscles, bones, water, and organs.
● A higher LBM indicates more muscle mass, which is generally associated with better fitness and metabolism.
● Fat located around your internal organs, including the liver, pancreas, and intestines.
● Visceral fat is considered more dangerous than subcutaneous fat (the fat under your skin) because it can lead to serious health conditions.
● The amount of muscle mass attached to your bones.
● A higher amount of muscle mass generally contributes to better strength, mobility, and metabolism.
● Refers to the strength and density of bones.
Low bone mineral density can indicate osteoporosis or a higher risk of fractures.
● Total Body Water (TBW)
The amount of water in your body, which makes up about 60% of your total body weight.
Proper hydration is essential for good health, and TBW levels are important in evaluating cellular function.
At Comprehensive Medical Care, we have In-Body and DEXA scans available for an in-depth analysis and insight into your health and fitness than traditional weight-based metrics. Whether you are working to lose fat, gain muscle, or simply understand your body better, regularly monitoring your body composition can help you achieve and maintain your goals.
● How it Works: This method involves passing a small, safe electrical current through the body and measuring the resistance the current faces. Fat, muscle, and water conduct electricity differently, allowing the machine to estimate body composition.
● Pros: Non-invasive, quick, and easy. Often used in gyms and wellness centers.
● How it Works: A DEXA scan uses X-Ray technology to measure bone mineral density and body fat percentage. It is considered one of the most accurate methods for measuring body composition.
● Pros: Very accurate, provides detailed measurements of fat, lean mass, and bone density.
