Body Composition

Body Composition is a quantitative descriptor of the human body's structural makeup that specifies the relative and absolute proportions of its constituent tissue compartments—principally fat mass and fat-free mass (including skeletal muscle, bone, organs, and body water)—as distinct from measures of overall body size or weight alone.
