Get the Whole Picture

For more than three decades, the prevalence of obesity has increased rapidly among both adults and children. Globally 1.8 billion people were obese or overweight in 2007. In the United States more than two thirds of the adult population is considered overweight or obese, and more than 97 million Americans are affected by obesity-related illnesses. The demand for accurate body composition analysis is growing as healthcare providers realize its value in identifying serious health risks that result from obesity, including heart disease and type II diabetes.
