Metabolic Health
Step Up to Obesity with seca
The landscape of caring for people with metabolic conditions is rapidly evolving with the new generation of effective medications and a shift in medical guidelines away from using BMI as the sole measure to dictate treatment. Focusing on more personalized, patient-centered approach to care means offering body composition analysis as part of a comprehensive approach.
Personalized Treatment Approaches Demand Individualized Metrics
What it means to care for people with metabolic conditions is undergoing rapid transformation with the availability of groundbreaking medications and a shift in medical guidelines away from using BMI as the sole metric to assess, diagnose, and treat obesity. More options for personalized treatment means obesity care is more dynamic and patient-centered than ever before. Support from the American Medical Association to use body composition to evaluate and treat patient's excess adiposity allows an individualized approach to managing the unique health and wellness of your patients.

Your Partner in Precision Obesity Care
With high-powered treatments offering promising outcomes, the responsibility to provide comprehensive and individualized care has never been greater. Backed by history and precision German manufacturing, seca's body composition analyzers are your ally in delivering exceptional obesity care with the patient at the center. Equip yourself with the best in class, sophisticated technology to navigate the complexities of obesity care by providing insights into adiposity, muscle mass, and water that motivate adherence, strengthen commitment, and keep your patients engaged in their care.
Comprehensive Care through Every Stage
Equip yourself with the best in class, sophisticated technology to navigate the complexities of obesity care by providing insights into adiposity and muscle mass that motivate adherence, strengthen commitment, and keep your patients engaged in their care.
Prevention
Establish a foundation for health by checking baseline body composition and monitoring trends. Incorporate body composition analysis into routine annual care to identify patterns early and adjust your care plans.
Treatment
With highly effective medical and surgical treatments available to help your patients achieve significant weight loss, it is essential to prioritize the loss of fat mass over muscle mass. Along with powerful treatment tools, seca is your sophisticated measurement tool to ensure the best health outcomes.
Management
Obesity is a chronic, relapsing condition that requires life-long support. As we move away from weight as the primary outcome, body composition analysis is a cornerstone of long-term follow up care, helping you and your patient monitor for changes and pivot when necessary.

KEY BODY COMPOSITION METRICS FOR METABOLIC HEALTH
Fat Mass Percentage
Fat Mass Percentage helps identify hidden risks like insulin resistance and inflammation not visible with BMI—key for personalized care.
Visceral Adipose Tissue
Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT) surrounds internal organs and is strongly linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. Monitoring VAT helps clinicians assess metabolic risk, reduce inflammation, and guide targeted interventions to improve long-term metabolic health.
Skeletal Muscle Mass
Skeletal Muscle Mass supports movement, metabolism, and glucose control. In obesity and endocrine care, low SMM may signal sarcopenic obesity. For cardiology, preserving muscle aids recovery. Tracking SMM ensures weight loss protects muscle and promotes better metabolic and physical outcomes.
Segmental Skeletal Muscle Mass
Segmental Skeletal Muscle Mass breaks down muscle by region to detect imbalances from injury, disuse, or nerve damage. Useful in endocrine and rehab care, it highlights issues affecting mobility, insulin sensitivity, and exercise adherence—helping catch problems before they escalate.
Body Composition Chart
The Body Composition Chart maps Fat Mass and Skeletal Muscle Mass into four body types, independent of BMI. It helps identify risks like sarcopenic obesity, track fat loss or muscle gain, and guide therapy adjustments with a clear visual snapshot of progress over time.
BMI
BMI provides a general view of weight status but doesn’t show fat vs. muscle or fat distribution— which are important key metrics. Used with body composition analysis, it offers a clearer picture of metabolic risk, especially in high-muscle or sarcopenic obesity cases.
Meet the Treatment Tracker
Go beyond labs and BMI. seca’s Treatment Tracker lets you see how fat mass, muscle, and phase angle shift alongside your interventions—helping you tailor therapy, reduce metabolic risk, and improve patient outcomes with data that drives decisions.
Set Targets & Track Goals
Use muscle mass, visceral adipose tissue, and fat mass percentages to guide patient-specific targets. Monitor improvements in metabolic risk and treatment response with actionable trends.
Visualize Changes Alongside Treatments
Correlate changes in fat mass, muscle, and cellular health with lifestyle, meds, or GLP-1 therapy—all in one clear timeline.
A Clearer View of Current Body Composition
Instantly assess fat-free mass, muscle, and visceral fat—going far beyond BMI to identify high-risk profiles and track therapeutic progress.
Adjust Treatment Plans
Fine-tune medications, nutrition, or exercise based on data trends—ensuring better cardiometabolic outcomes through tailored care.
Enhance Shared Decision-Making
Show patients real results from their efforts. Data visuals drive understanding, adherence, and stronger commitment to your plan.
