Obesity increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and early mortality, while sarcopenia (low muscle mass) increases the risk of injury, disability, and mortality, making the assessment of both fat and lean mass critical for risk stratification.

Maintain a healthy balance of fat and muscle. High fat mass and low muscle mass are both independently linked to higher risks of chronic disease and early death. Regular body composition checks help identify these risks early.
