Active Aging
Support Healthy Aging with Insights Beyond the Scale.
As life expectancy continues to increase, people are looking for new and innovative ways to age healthfully, extend longevity and increase quality of life.
As patients age, maintaining strength, mobility, and independence becomes the cornerstone of quality care. But weight alone can’t tell the full story. In fact, many age-related changes—like sarcopenia, dehydration, or hidden fat gain—can go undetected with traditional metrics.
By measuring what’s beneath the surface—muscle mass, fat mass, water levels, and cellular health—providers can take a proactive approach to help older adults stay strong, functional, and engaged in life.
Key Indicators for Aging Well and Staying Active
As adults age, maintaining strength, mobility, and metabolic health becomes essential for preserving independence and quality of life. Traditional metrics like weight or BMI alone don’t provide a full picture of health. By evaluating key body composition markers—such as muscle mass, fat mass, and hydration status—clinicians can identify early signs of sarcopenia, frailty, or fluid imbalance, and intervene proactively. These insights help guide individualized wellness strategies that support longevity and functional aging.
Supporting Healthy Aging with Actionable Body Composition Insights
seca’s medical body composition analyzers offer quick, non-invasive assessments that provide objective data to support clinical decisions. With a precise view into muscle preservation, fat distribution, and body water, providers can better tailor interventions that promote strength, stability, and metabolic resilience. Regular monitoring not only informs care plans but also motivates older adults to stay engaged in their health—empowering them to age with confidence and vitality.
Prevention, Performance, and Preservation.
Whether you're working in primary care, senior living, or wellness clinics, your aging patients are navigating muscle loss (sarcopenia), changes in hydration and body water, metabolic shifts with aging, increased interests in longevity, and a higher risk of falls, frailty and hospitalization.
Body composition analysis helps providers detect these issues early and intervene effectively—before weight loss, weakness, or decline becomes clinically significant.
Tracking muscle mass, hydration status, and phase angle provides a powerful foundation for personalized treatment, physical therapy planning, and patient motivation.
