Professional body composition and nutrition analysis: Touch Screen THE SCIENCE BEHIND CLINICAL BODY ASSESSMENT

WORKING WITH WEIGHT LOSS PROFESSIONALS The importance of weight management has become increasingly topical over recent years. Obesity has been linked to the following diseases: + Coronary heart disease + Stroke + High blood pressure + Type 2 diabetes + Cancers, such as endometrial, breast, and colon cancer + High total cholesterol or high levels of triglycerides + Liver and gallbladder disease + Sleep apnea and respiratory problems + Degeneration of cartilage and underlying bone within a joint (osteoarthritis) + Reproductive health complications such as infertility + Mental health conditions....

EARLY DETECTION AND PREVENTION Although the Bodystat 1500MDD is not a diagnostic device, it does provide early detection of cellular disease or illness within the body. As well as providing necessary information on body composition, the 1500MDD also shows a ‘Wellness MarkerTM’ or impedance ratio, demonstrating a general status in health: + Early detection of cellular health issues + Detection of potential underlying disease + Detection of muscle wasting + Changes in health status + Malnutrition, including the clinically obese. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER With knowledge comes power. For your patients or...

Wellness Marker & PHASE TM IDENTIFY NUTRITIONAL STAT WELLNESS MARKER™ (Impedance Ratio) “The goal is to foster improvements in global health by using scientific advances for the prevention, early detection and treatment of disease. Only 5% of medical people pay attention to early detection. If you could increase that 5% to 30%, it would extend lives, lower costs and do all sorts of things.” (Financial Times, Wealth Quarterly) The objective of Bodystat’s unique Wellness MarkerTM is to provide health professionals with a tool for early detection of cellular change before it becomes clinically obvious....

ADVANCED NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS CLINICAL PRACTICE APPLICATIONS Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is becoming a preferred method to establish and monitor malnutrition. Many research papers have examined the relationship between Phase Angle and malnutrition and have found a correlation between low Phase Angle and higher nutritional risk. Population groups used in both research and clinical practice include nephrology, HIV, oncology and surgical patients. A low PA is indicative of diminished cellular integrity and thus a reduced survival time. Equally, a higher PA suggests larger quantities of...

1500MDD TOUCH SCREEN: APPLICATIONS + COPD – Fat-free mass is an independent predictor of mortality irrespective of fat mass... supports the inclusion of body-composition assessment as a systematic marker of disease severity in COPD staging. Schols, Annie MWJ et. al. (July 2005) “Body composition and mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease” Am J of Clinical Nutrition, Vol 82 No1 53-59 + DIABETICS – Overweight and obesity are associated with the development of type 2 diabetes. Thus, it is important for clinicians to accurately measure and monitor the body composition of at-risk individuals...
