Description
Body composition analysis is an assessment of the fat proportion to fat-free mass in the body
Objectives
It is frequently used in clinical nutrition and allows to calculate fat mass, fat-free mass, and body cell mass (BCM) and to assess the hydration status. It is sensitive to shifts in fluid balance and is less reliable in settings like liver, kidney, and heart failure, or electrolyte disorders.
