BODY COMPOSITION

Image One is proud to partner with AMRA Medical, a health informatics company at the forefront of medical imaging.

Using whole body MRI and automated image analysis, AMRA asseses an individual's muscle and fat throughout the body, and relates it to human health and disease.

What is Body Composition?

Body Composition definitions vary by source, but ultimately, it describes what the body is made up of - which is mainly fat, muscle bone, and water. It offers a better view into health than more traditional methods such as Body Mass Index. BMI accounts for only height and weight, it does not take into account body fat vs. muscle mass.

BCP - Your Body Composition Profile

5 key measurements of your fat and muscle distribution

Why are these numbers so important?....

1. Visceral Fat

2. Subcutaneous Fat

3. Liver Fat

4. Muscle Fat

5. Muscle Volume

Intra-abdominal fat that is stored around and between the abdominal organs.

Excessive visceral fat has been presented as a strong predictor of cardiovascular diseases as well as Type 2 diabetes, and has been associated with increased risk of cancer, liver inflammation and fibrosis, metabolic syndrome, stroke, and sleep apnea.

The most prominent type of fat and it is stored beneath the skin.

Generalized excessive fat accumulation - including subcutaneous fat as the prominent type - has been associated with obesity, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, cancer, depression, osteoarthritis, and sleep apnea.

Excessive accumulation of fat in the liver.

Increases the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and Type 2 diabetes.

Fat deposited inside skeletal muscles, indicating muscle quality.

Excessive muscle fat has been associated with reduced physical function, disability, frailty, increased fracture risk, Type 2 diabetes, increased risk of hospitalization, severe illness outcome, and poor overall survival.

Lean volume of skeletal muscles, also indicative of muscle quality.

Low muscle volume has been linked to shorter survival, poorer quality of life, frailty, falls, and lower physical function.
