CHWB - Body Composition Testing

Body Composition Testing

Testing is available by appointment only and requires a 15-minute consultation with the health educator conducting the test. The health educator will provide the client with a detailed explanation of what the numbers mean as well as provide recommendations and resources to help the client reach his or her goals.

Before your body composition test:

  • Abstain from eating and drinking within 4 hours of the test
  • Avoid exercising within 12 hours of the test
  • Void (urinate) completely prior to testing
  • Do not drink alcohol within 48 hours of the test
  • Avoid taking diuretics prior to testing unless instructed by your physician
