Fat mass, lean body mass, bone density calculations. Precise and reliable but expensive and technical. Great, but expensive, radiation exposure and specialised training needed. Assessing could be done through vision (looking at change in clothing) or scale (measurements) Group of metabolic disorders affecting the ability to produce/respond to insulin.
