More Than Just Weight: The Role of Body Composition in Obesity and diabetes, particularly excess visceral fat around the abdomen, is a primary driver of insulin resistance—the root cause of Type 2 diabetes. In Indian populations, this is especially critical due to a phenomenon known as the “thin fat Indian,” where an individual may have a normal BMI but a high body fat percentage, significantly increasing their health risks. We focus on analyzing your body composition, not just the number on a scale, to create an effective management plan.
| Parameter | What It Tells Us |
|---|---|
| Body Fat Percentage (PBF) | The proportion of fat versus lean mass in your body. |
| Visceral Fat Level | The amount of dangerous fat surrounding your internal organs. |
| Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM) | The amount of muscle, which is crucial for metabolism. |
| Water Balance (ECW/TBW) | The ratio of extracellular to total body water, an indicator of inflammation or swelling. |
Using these insights, we can tailor a plan that helps you lose fat, build muscle, and improve your metabolic health, leading to better sugar control, a reduced need for medication, and a lower risk of complications.
Excess fat, especially visceral fat, increases insulin resistance. We use body composition analysis for targeted treatment.
