Why Weight Alone Isn't Enough
Two people with the same weight can have completely different body compositions. Body fat, muscle mass, and hydration are much more reliable indicators of metabolic health than BMI alone.
What Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) Measures
- Body Fat (%): total body fat percentage
- Muscle Mass (kg): crucial for sarcopenia and athletic performance
- Total Body Water: intra- and extracellular hydration
- Bone Mass: estimate of bone density
- BMR: calories burned at rest
- Metabolic Age: comparison with the average for your age group
WHO Reference Values
- Men: 10–20% (athletic), 20–25% (acceptable)
- Women: 20–30% (athletic), 25–35% (acceptable)
