What is a "body composition analyzer"?
A body composition analyzer is a device that measures the amount of fat, muscle, minerals, protein, and water in the body. It uses different methods such as sending a small electrical signal through the body, using X-rays, or heat sensors to provide detailed information about the body's physical structure beyond just weight. This information helps in understanding overall health, fitness levels, and can help in creating personalized diet and exercise plans. It is commonly used in sports and fitness clubs, aerobics and slimming centers, and for monitoring the number of human cells in patients with HIV, cancer, and other conditions that cause severe weight loss.
