Pediatrics and growth monitoring with bioimpedance
Childhood obesity and malnutrition: public health challenges
Pediatric obesity and undernutrition are growing major public health challenges. Their early management requires an assessment tailored to the physiology of the growing child.
While BMI serves as a screening tool, it does not distinguish between fat mass and lean mass. Body composition measurement provides a more accurate assessment of nutritional status, enhances diagnostic precision, and enables individualized monitoring of interventions.
With Aminogram’s Biody Xpert ZM3, healthcare professionals gain access to a detailed, objective analysis that allows them to:
- Accurately assess a child’s body composition using an algorithm specifically validated for the pediatric population, determining both fat mass and fat-free mass.
- Access the Fat Mass Index (FMI) and Fat-Free Mass Index (FFMI), along with their associated reference curves, to benchmark each child against age- and sex-specific population data.
- Gain a comprehensive view of the child’s development through dedicated tools for BMI, height, and weight, integrated with their specific growth curves.
- Enable early screening for undernutrition and overweight based on measured parameters.
- Track changes in body composition over time to personalize care, adjusting nutritional recommendations and physical activity programs accordingly.
- Engage the child and their family in the monitoring process, thanks to clear, accessible results available through the BiodyConnect app.
Aminogram thus enables continuous, precise, and individualized monitoring, which is essential to support the child throughout their growth.
