Determining the Essential Metrics for Assessing Health Disease Risk

About this course

This course focuses on understanding the key metrics and technology used to measure body shape and composition in evaluating health and disease risk. The course will explore the use of metrics such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and body fat percentage, to name a few, in assessing conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. It also highlights the limitations and considerations associated with each metric and provides guidance for making informed decisions about which metrics to use in different populations and contexts. Overall, this presentation aims to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the essential metrics for assessing health and non-communicable disease risk, allowing for more accurate and informed health assessments and interventions, as well as provide efficacy for clinical exercise intervention.
