Body Composition Monitoring
Weight alone is not a clear indicator of good health because it does not distinguish between pounds that come from body fat and those that come from lean body mass or muscle. Carrying too much fat is a condition called obesity, and puts a person at risk for many serious medical conditions including heart disease, diabetes and even certain forms of cancer. In fact, obesity contributes to at least half the chronic diseases in western society.
Overweight means an excess of total body
weight based on population averages for heights and body frame sizes.
Athletes and very muscular people may be overweight, but that does not
mean they are over fat. Obesity means an excess of body fat regardless
of weight.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis or BIA is considered one of the most reliable and accessible methods of screening body fat. Using a revolutionary new way of measuring BIA that is faster, easier, less intrusive and includes a precision scale making this a simple one-step process. Weight is calculated automatically along with body fat, muscle, water and mineral mass content in less than a minute.
