The event will focus on sharing medical pedagogy of the Body Composition and Utilization that includes the benefits of Body Composition Analysers in Nutrition for people from all walks of life, all age groups.
Meanwhile a recent InBody study reveals that 71% Indians have Poor Muscle Health, 68% have low Protein levels. A leading cause for this could be inadequate intake of protein. The regional data presents an even more alarming picture. Statistics indicate that Lucknow has the highest percentage of males and females having poor muscle mass, with 82% of males and 80% of females. On the other hand, Delhi has a lower percentage of people with poor muscle mass, with 64% of both males and females.
