Webinar: Why Weight? Understanding Obesity with Body Composition & Grip Strength Testing

InBody provides detailed body composition data, including visceral fat analysis and muscle-fat balance, to help obesity doctors assess obesity severity beyond BMI and guide personalized treatment plans. We will dive into how body composition and grip strength testing serve as a simple yet powerful tool to assess muscle function, sarcopenia risk, and overall physical health in obese patients, particularly in pre- and post-bariatric surgery evaluations.

Showcasing how InBody can track changes in fat mass, muscle retention, and water distribution during weight loss, guide exercise and nutrition interventions, and improve long-term patient health and mobility. Sharing how combining body composition analysis with grip strength testing can help doctors track muscle retention, guide exercise recommendations, and prevent sarcopenia in patients undergoing weight loss interventions, whether surgical
or non-surgical.

Learning Objectives
1. Learn how to enhance precision in obesity evaluation and treatment beyond traditional BMI measurements by assessing fat mass, muscle mass, water balance, and other key metrics like grip strength. Assessing body composition and grip strength for a more comprehensive understanding of health and obesity.

2. Lean how to monitor patient progress pre- and post-intervention to track progress, optimize provider plans, and detect early signs of other health risks such as sarcopenia. Ensuring more effective long-term weight management.

3. Learn how to improve patient engagement and compliance with visual and numerical feedback to educate and motivate patients. Analysis that helps track muscle retention, guide exercise recommendations, and prevent sarcopenia in patients undergoing weight loss interventions, whether surgical or nonsurgical.
