Body composition is a method of describing what the body is made of. It includes body fat, muscle, body water / fluids. Body composition also describes weight more accurately than BMI wherein it can accurately show changes in fat mass, muscle mass, body fat percentage, body shape, biceps, triceps, waist etc.

When you’re thinking of losing weight or simply want to see how healthy you are, you probably do one of two things: step on a scale or calculate your BMI. But the fact is that, these methods don’t tell you anything about how healthy you are. It is not just about what weight and BMI does, but, there is need to differentiate between muscle and fat. When you’re trying to get healthier, you’re most likely going to lose fat and gain muscle stregth and endurance. As BMI and weight don’t differentiate between muscle and fat, so how can you go about? The answer is body composition assessment. So, the scope of body composition assessment is obvious.

Proactiff Digital Healthcare Body Composition Assessment (BCA) app allows you to track, monitor and chart the most important anthropometric measurements, indices and health indicators including weight, waist, hips, thighs, biceps, triceps, subscapularis, Suprailiac, shoulder blade, muscle mass, body fat percentage, Body Mass Index (BMI), body type, body shape, body surface area, ideal body weight, Total Body Water, Basal Metabolic Rate, Resting Metabolic Rate, Total Daily Energy Expenditure etc.

Using this App, you can also track any custom body measurements you can think of (shoulders, skeletal muscle mass percentage, body water percentage etc.) on your mobile device. And what’s more, you can instantly visualize the changes in your body using the data visualizations, tracker dashboards and sync your data automatically to the cloud and protect it from phone theft or other issues.


BODY COMPOSITION ASSESSMENT: THE MODERN ASSESSMENT FOR IMPROVING HEALTH

Body composition assessment describes what the body is made of, body type, size, frame, differentiating between fat, protein and body water to give you a complete and instant snapshot of your health.

It is obvious that the components of body composition influence health outcomes and are increasingly valuable to health conscious people and clinical practice as well. So, you can now develop a complete physical profile to monitor body fat loss and muscle mass growth.
