Advanced Body Assessment (Whole Body Composition)
For many individuals, stepping on the scale can evoke a mix of fear and hope. However, when that scale reveals an unexpected 5-pound weight gain—despite a week of dedicated workouts and feeling your best at 30% body fat—it can lead to confusion and a dip in self-esteem.
Advanced Whole Body Composition assessment is a more comprehensive way to measure body composition compared to other methods on the market. It provides your % body fat, total lean mass, bone density, limb comparison for muscle imbalance detection, visceral fat and more.
Traditional Body Mass Index (BMI) calculations rely solely on height and weight to assess body composition. While BMI can indicate total body mass and regional distribution, it often falls short in accurately reflecting an individual’s health. Research from the North American Menopause Society found that 18.5% of women classified as having a normal BMI actually had significant excess fat, leading to the term “skinny fat.” Similarly, some men with higher BMI scores may possess normal levels of body fat, complicating the understanding of their health.
Once the scan is complete, you receive a detailed report outlining the specific regions measured. This information is invaluable for assessing your risk of developing common health issues, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Your overall body fat percentage is revealed and can be compared to reference values from other Americans, providing a clearer picture of your health.
The Advanced Whole Body Composition Assesment is not only highly accurate in measuring specific areas of your body, but it is also quick, painless, and safe—especially when compared to a CT scan, which exposes you to three times more radiation. With Hologic’s innovative technology, you can gain a deeper understanding of your body and take empowered steps toward your health and wellness goals, regardless of gender.
