BODY COMPOSITION
Body composition assessment (lean mass / fat mass).
Description
Body composition is attained using the bio-impedancemetry technique. It is a quick and easy method and does not involve any discomfort. Bioimpedance analysis allows the distribution of the subject’s body masses, and their water and nutritional status to be evaluated.
This type of assessment is not only useful for personalising the nutritional plan, but also for monitoring the health status of individuals affected by conditions such as obesity, diabetes, heart and respiratory problems. The device is fully integrated.
