Body Composition Analysis
A healthy balance between fat and muscle is vital for health and wellness.
What does body composition mean? Body composition is a term that you often associate with fitness and weight loss. It refers to the percentage of fat, bone, and muscle in your body that determines if you’re at a healthy weight. And by assessing this percentage it can tell you more about your overall health and wellness.
A body composition analysis assesses the fat and muscle makeup of your body by measuring the fat you carry. Body fat is one of the risk factors linked to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, respiratory dysfunction and gallbladder disease.
It breaks the body down into core components and gives you a view of your overall health. These components include fat, protein, minerals, and body water.
What Is a Body Composition Analysis?
Body Composition Analysis gives you an in-depth, accurate look at your body composition, measuring muscle mass and fat mass with a professional body composition analyzer. You learn exactly where your body is storing fat. This helps identify potential health risks before symptoms appear.
How Does Body Composition Testing Work?
It uses a weak electrical current to scan your body and provides a detailed assessment of body tissue analysis.
Components of the Body Composition Assessment
This scan goes beyond your weight and BMI which is often used for fitness, bodybuilders, and weight loss goals. It will track and detect dangerous visceral fat that forms around your vital organs so that you can take control over health issues. Our body composition test guide compares the measurement methods.
What Does a Body Composition Analyzer Measure?
Body Composition Analysis provides a complete analysis of the following information.
- Cellular water weight across the whole body
- Body fat percentage and body fat mass
- Skeletal muscle mass, whole body and segmental
- Visceral fat levels around your organs
- Basal metabolic rate, and more
Bone mineral is measured separately, which is what a bone density test is for.

Process of a Body Composition Analysis
The body composition process is simple. No special preparation is needed. You may eat and drink prior to the exam and take your prescribed medication as usual. The entire body composition assessment should only take 5 minutes.
How to Prepare for Your Body Composition Test
There is nothing specific you will need to do in order to prepare for your test. However, if you have had, or are planning to have, multiple body composition tests we advise that you do the same routine each time. For example, if you fast, make sure you fast for each test. If you eat prior to the test, then do the same for the next one.
