Bioimpedance is the study of the physical component of structures of the body at a cellular level. When there is a higher integrity of the cell membrane, the cell is usually considered healthy. Generally, the healthier the cells, the healthier the individual.
Research has shown that body composition correlates directly to a continuum of health, ranging from mortality and morbidity to immunity, longevity, high function, and athletic performance.
The purpose of body composition analysis is to assess and improve function. For healthy patients, analysis of fat-free mass and body cell mass compartments can help maintain function, productivity, immunity, physical performance, and longevity.
