Body composition analysis describes what the body is made of, differentiating between body water, protein minerals, and fat to provide more precise information beyond weight and BMI. Body composition components are strongly related to different health outcomes, and regular measurement is becoming increasingly valuable in medical practice.
The MA801 Professional Body Composition Analyzer provides many relevant measurement values and data that can be used by medical professionals track patient progress, and providing important indicators that may aid in diagnostics and screening. Boasting multiple measurement frequencies and sophisticated algorithms, Charder stands by our devices with clinical trials and over ten years of original peer-reviewed scientific research, for results you can trust.
Reliable, non-invasive Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis makes it easier to conduct regular monitoring of Body Composition. The calculated estimated weights of the body's compositional elements can be compared with standard results for context.
Measurement of weight is important, but incomplete without further analyzing the amount of muscle and fat in a client. Understanding skeletal muscle and body fat proportions can help trainers formulate muscle and fat control recommendations.
Different body fat indicators provide valuable information needed for a more useful evaluation of health. Percent Body Fat is a general indicator, while Waist-Hip Ratio and Visceral Fat are used as critical cut-off points for risk of obesity-related diseases which may not be immediately visible from the outside.
