Body composition analysis (body fat measurement) is a measurement of great interest and is performed in all sessions held in my office.
Body composition analysis is performed with the Tanita MC 780 body fat analyzer, which is a multi-frequency total and segmental body composition analyzer and is one of the leading analyzers with high accuracy and repeatability.
A complete body composition analysis is performed in less than 30'' and is performed using the bioelectrical impedance method for each part of the body, using 3 different frequencies.
With this specific method we measure:
- Weight
- Body fat (%, kg)
- Visceral Fat
- Lean mass
- Muscle mass
- Bone mass
- Total body fluids
- Extracellular fluid
- Intracellular fluid
- ECW/TBW edema
- Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) Estimation
- Metabolic age
- Physical classification
- Phase Angle
- Body fat distribution
- Muscle mass balance
- Lower limb muscle performance
- Segmental analysis for each lower and upper limb and trunk
