A device uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BEI) to conduct a full body analysis providing an accurate breakdown of muscle, fat, bone and water content. Each one of these contribute toward your total body weight and change in response to interventions such as dietary changes, exercise and medical treatments. The procedure takes a few minutes to complete and provides the doctor with information such as:

• Metabolic rate (your metabolism)
• Body fat – visceral fat, % body fat, body fat mass
• Muscle mass and % muscle mass
• Muscle : fat ratio
• Body type analysis
• Segmental analysis of body composition of the various body parts can also be individually done e.g. arms, legs, trunk etc.
• Weight & BMI
