Body Composition
NOTE: This service should not be booked if you are pregnant or have a pace-maker fitted.
Also known as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) this service provides a short, non-intrusive report on your body’s internal make up specifically broken down into four key components including water, fat, muscle and bone.
The scan takes just 35 seconds and will require you to remove socks and shoes for the assessment. The scan will be done in complete privacy and a GPTQA accredited staff member will be available to assist in the technology and delivery of the scan.
This scan will provide you with the following results:
- Body fat (% and mass)
- Fat free mass
- Bone mass
- Muscle mass
- Total body water
- Intracellular water
- Extracellular water
- Basal metabolic rate (kcal and kJ)
