Anti-Aging Body Composition

Meaning

A clinically defined state of physical structure characterized by an optimal ratio of lean body mass to adipose tissue, specifically aiming for a low percentage of visceral fat, that is associated with enhanced longevity and reduced risk of age-related disease. Achieving this composition is a primary objective in healthspan optimization, as it correlates strongly with metabolic flexibility and physical resilience. It represents a shift from focusing solely on body weight to prioritizing tissue quality and distribution. This composition supports robust musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and endocrine function into advanced age.
