    Glossary Body Composition

    percentages of fat, bone, water, and muscle in the body

    Body composition refers to the percentages of fat, bone, water, and muscle in the human body. It is a more detailed measure of health than body weight alone, as it distinguishes between the weight from fat and the weight from lean tissue. Understanding body composition can help in assessing fitness levels, guiding nutritional and exercise programs, and monitoring changes over time.
