  • Lean body mass is constituted by the muscles, vital organs, bone and bone marrow, connective tissue and body water.

  • The percentage of lean body mass to fat not only determines the body's aesthetic appearance, but more importantly, it is also an index of physical fitness, health status, susceptibility to disease and premature mortality.

  • In this context, body mass index (BMI) is a reliable indicator of healthy body composition.
