BODY COMPOSITION INDEX

Your body is mainly composed of muscle, fat and water. When you exercise more or start dieting, your body composition will change, even if your weight stays the same. By measuring your body composition, it can tell you the ratio of muscle and fat inside your body, and other useful data like Total Body Water and Metabolic Age. A body composition monitor gives you a complete picture of your own health and fitness level, allowing you to review and design an effective diet & exercise plan towards a healthier life.

METABOLIC AGE

Metabolic age is calculated by comparing an individual’s Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) to the BMR average of their chronological age group. If your metabolic age is higher than your actual age, you will need to reconsider your current lifestyle and diet plan; increased exercise builds healthy muscle tissue, which in turn will improve metabolic age. Take the following illustrations as example, both men have the same height, same weight and thus same BMR; however, their body composition are totally different.
