Why body composition for children?
-
Early Detection of Health Issues, such as obesity or malnutrition. By regularly assessing their body composition, you can identify any abnormalities or imbalances in muscle mass, fat distribution, or overall body weight. This early detection enables timely interventions and appropriate treatments, minimising the risk of long-term health complications.
-
Personalised Nutrition and Exercise Guidance: Body composition monitoring provides valuable insights into a child's specific nutritional needs and physical activity requirements. By analysing factors like muscle mass, body fat percentage, and body water, healthcare providers can develop personalised nutrition and exercise plans tailored to the child's unique needs. This approach promotes healthy growth and development, helps maintain an optimal weight, and reduces the risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
-
Motivation and Accountability: Monitoring body composition can serve as a motivational tool for children and their families. Tracking changes in body composition over time, such as improvements in muscle mass or reduction in body fat, can provide visible evidence of progress and serve as a source of encouragement. Additionally, regular body composition assessments create a sense of accountability, promoting adherence to healthy habits and lifestyle modifications, leading to better overall health outcomes.
As body composition monitoring should be conducted in a supportive and sensitive manner, ensuring the child's well-being and privacy, the TANITA MC-780MA offers the option of turning the monitor screen facing the professional when the child is being measured.
