Nutritional Assessment by Anthropometric Fractionation

New Scientific Method of Nutritional Assessment

The only method that determines Nutritional Diagnosis and takes Skeletal Mass into account as a key factor

The larger the skeleton, the higher the requirement

the band shows the range that skeleton needs

Patient A Large skeleton
Height1.60 m
Weight65 kg
BMI25.4 Overweight
  • Skeletal mass 11.5 kg
  • Muscle mass 29.0 kg needs 26.4 to 31.1 kg
  • Fat mass 15.5 kg needs 14.4 to 17.2 kg
Protein reserve2.52
Caloric reserve1.35
NORMAL RESERVES
Patient B Small skeleton
Height1.60 m
Weight55 kg
BMI21.5 Normal
  • Skeletal mass 7.5 kg
  • Muscle mass 15.5 kg needs 17.2 to 20.2 kg
  • Fat mass 15.0 kg needs 9.4 to 11.2 kg
Protein reserve2.07
Caloric reserve2.00
Decreased protein reserve and increased caloric reserve
Different skeleton sizes, different diagnosis!
Applications

Areas of application

Pregnancy

Performing a quarterly Nutritional Diagnosis will let you identify and effectively address the specific nutritional needs of each stage of pregnancy, without focusing on weight or BMI/Gestational Age.

Sport

You will be able to adjust your athletes' nutrition and training, helping them achieve better Body Composition and maximize their sports performance based on the Nutritional Diagnosis.

Clinical conditions

Determining the Nutritional Diagnosis, regardless of weight, is essential in a range of situations such as Diabetes, Heart Failure, Kidney Failure, Hypothyroidism and Oncology, making it possible to define the best Nutritional Therapy.

Children & Adolescents

The nutritional diagnosis will make it easier for you to monitor children's and adolescents' growth, adjusting nutrition to the specific nutritional needs of each stage of development.
