Metabolic health
Body Composition
An index derived from your measurements that estimates how body mass is distributed, rather than what the bathroom scale alone can say.
Why it matters
Where weight sits matters more than the total: fat stored around the organs behaves differently from fat under the skin and tracks more closely with metabolic risk.
If it runs high
Higher values can reflect a greater share of central (visceral) mass, which is associated with insulin resistance and cardiovascular strain.
If it runs low
Lower values generally reflect a leaner composition. Extremely low values can accompany undernutrition or muscle loss.
Reference ranges vary by sex, age, and laboratory, your BetterBuy Rx Labs report plots your value on the range that applies to you. A single out-of-range result is a prompt to talk to your clinician, not a diagnosis.
