Body composition refers to the amount of body fat you have, versus the
amount of lean muscles, bones and organs. There are several tests that can be
used to measure body composition. The most reliable is underwater weighing,
but due to the size and expense of the equipment, this type of test isn't
common. Many doctors, gyms and health clubs use a pinch test instead.
