Body composition testing is performed at ProPartnersMD using the Bod Pod air displacement technology system which is proven to be as accurate as underwater weighing in determining body fat percentage. The Bod Pod measures the volume of air a person's body displaces while sitting inside a comfortable chamber, rather than measuring how much water their body displaces when dunked in a tank. From these measurements, whole-body density is determined and body fat and lean mass can then be calculated. By using air instead of water, ProPartnersMD patients are offered a very accurate, fast, safe, and easy-to-use tool for measuring body composition.

Accurate information about body composition is crucial in establishing realistic weight management goals and determining overall levels of fitness.
