Body composition analysis, analyses the measured weight, fat weight, lean weight, water content, metabolic rates and impedance value.
This is used for screening purposes for general preventative health checks. It is important to remember that it is FAT weight and NOT total body weight that determines health risk.
In the case of overweight people it is important to ensure that lean body mass is not lost during a weight reducing diet. It is lean mass that burns the kilocalories and is rich in potassium which is vital in maintaining a healthy well nourished body.
