Visceral Fat Mapping and the "Metabo" Law
In alignment with Japan's "Metabo Law," which mandates annual waistline checks for employees, BCA technology now includes AI-driven Visceral Fat Area (VFA) estimation.
Precision vs. CT: While CT scans remain the gold standard, modern BCA algorithms now achieve 95–98% correlation with CT imaging for visceral fat mapping.
Health Impact: By identifying "hidden" fat around internal organs, these devices provide a grade that predicts risks for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, often before visible weight gain occurs.
