Bod Pod
This is a great test to analyze body composition. Body composition testing will give the subject information on their body fat percentage and free fat mass. This can be compared to normative values to understand how lean or how overweight a person is compared to others within their age group and demographic. These values can also suggest if the person is at risk of cardiovascular disease. This test can help guide a nutritionist with weight loss prescriptions. If a person is properly following a diet and we see a decrease in fat mass with this test, that is a great sign that we are reducing the chance of cardiovascular disease!
