Complex changes occur in body composition during weight management programs and illness and monitoring these changes can provide an insight for early diagnosis and treatment.
As the need for non-invasive, non-intrusive diagnostic systems increases and regular monitoring becomes even more important, clinicians seek quick, simple solutions to monitor these changes.
The Bodystat®1500MDD unit, suitable for adults and children from 6 years of age, measures the body composition of the subject and can be used during a weight loss or health care program. By tracking changes over a period of time, the unit can be used as a motivational tool to ensure that the program is having the desired effect.
Diabetes
Diabetes and being overweight are very closely linked together and loosing fat weight is often the first step in controlling the disease. The Bodystat®1500MDD unit allows the user to accurately track and monitor the changes for Fat, Lean and Water values over a period of time.

As the international epidemic of obesity rises, consultants are seeking accurate methods to measure body composition quickly and non-invasively. The Bodystat®1500MDD unit provides the health professionals with valuable information as to the general health status of their subjects By monitoring the body composition and our unique Wellness Marker over a period of time, provides information on whether the subject's health status is improving or declining, if weight gain or loss is due to a change in fat, lean or water. Uniquely, the measured values of % Fat, Fat Free Mass Index (FFMI), the Wellness Marker & Phase Angle, may be able to detect a state of malnourishment even in obese subjects. Refer in particular to the data Chart found on: Wellness Marker.
Occupational Health
Many businesses promote good health at work in order to try to reduce the level of absenteeism amongst their staff. Regular monitoring of their health status which includes Body Composition measurements, help to achieve this objective. Body Composition assessments can provide a much more meaningful indicator of the health status than mere body weight. Using the Bodystat®1500MDD can provide accurate non-invasive assessment of body composition along with the Wellness Marker to look at their cellular health, thereby possibly detecting early signs of ill health. It is preventative health that is the important issue to promote & maintain a healthy staff complement.
