BCP Measurements

The BCP (Body Composition Profile) consists of five measurements that help understand the composition of an individual’s body.

These measurements are generated through a rapid MRI scan. Specifically, it provides various fat and muscle measurements throughout the body, such as lean muscle volume and visceral fat. While BCP delivers insights into health and wellness, it does not diagnose diseases.

Individuals can use the BCP ordered by their health provider to get a glance at what is going on inside their body and use that information to help guide lifestyle decisions, such as diet and exercise.

Visceral Fat

View

Intra-abdominal fat is stored around and between the abdominal organs. Excessive visceral fat has been presented as a strong predictor of cardiovascular diseases as well as type 2 diabetes, and has been associated with increased risk of cancer, liver inflammation and fibrosis, metabolic syndrome, stroke, sleep apnea, among others.

Subcutaneous Fat

View

The most prominent type of fat and it is stored beneath the skin. Generalized excessive fat accumulation, including subcutaneous fat as the prominent type, has been associated with overweight, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancer, depression, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, among others.

Liver Fat

View

Fat stored inside the liver. Excessive accumulation of fat in the liver increases the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and type 2 diabetes.

Muscle Fat

View

Fat deposited inside skeletal muscles and it indicates muscle quality. Excessive muscle fat has been associated with reduced physical function, disability, frailty, increased fracture risk, type 2 diabetes, increased risk of hospitalization, severe illness outcome, poor overall survival, among others.

Muscle Volume

View

Lean volume of skeletal muscles and it indicates the muscle quantity. Low muscle volume has been associated with shorter survival, longer length of hospital stay, higher surgical and post-operative complications, poorer quality of life, frailty, sarcopenia, falls, and lower physical function.
