Body composition analysis provides detailed insights into the body’s fat, muscle, and water content, offering a more accurate assessment of obesity than simple weight measurement. Techniques such as bioelectrical impedance, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and skinfold measurements are commonly used to differentiate between lean mass and fat mass. This analysis allows healthcare providers to create personalized weight management plans, as it clarifies how much of the weight is fat versus muscle. Tracking changes in body composition can help evaluate the effectiveness of weight management strategies, ensuring that individuals are losing fat rather than muscle and achieving healthier, more sustainable outcomes.
