Margaret Thompson
Health Report
Metabolic age of 56 vs chronological 71 is a 21% reduction — 15 years younger. Top 5% of women her age. Her body metabolises like someone in their mid-50s.
A rating of 7 at age 71 is excellent. Well within healthy range and significantly better than peers where ratings of 12–18 are typical. Minimal metabolic disease risk.
At 31.2%, well within healthy range (24–36%) and leaner than ~80% of UK women aged 70–79, where average body fat is typically 38–42%.
40.5 kg of muscle at 62 kg body weight (65.3%) is above average for a 71-year-old female. Excellent muscle preservation against age-related sarcopenia.
At 25.2, borderline “overweight” but leaner than ~75% of UK women aged 70–79 where average BMI is 28–29. Essentially at the healthy boundary.
Trunk muscle rated +1 (above average) at 23.7 kg. Strong core is critical for posture, balance, and fall prevention at age 71.
A metabolic age 15 years below chronological age at 71 is exceptional — top 5% of women her age. Combined with visceral fat of 7, this profile indicates excellent metabolic efficiency and significantly reduced risk of metabolic disease.
Trunk muscle rated +1 while trunk fat is rated -1 is the ideal combination. A strong core is the most important factor for posture, balance, and fall prevention in the 70+ age group. Margaret's core is performing exceptionally well.
A slight decline in muscle mass (41.0 → 40.5 kg over 4 weeks) warrants monitoring. After age 70, muscle loss accelerates. Adequate protein intake (62–74g daily) and resistance training 2–3 times per week will help preserve and rebuild muscle.
Body water at 47% is adequate but at the lower end of optimal (45–60%). Increasing daily water intake and including water-rich foods (soups, fruits, vegetables) would support muscle function, joint health, and cognitive performance.
Margaret's body composition at age 71 is excellent. A metabolic age of 56 (15 years younger), visceral fat of 7, body fat well within healthy range, above-average trunk muscle with below-average trunk fat, and stable weight all point to a body ageing exceptionally well. Minor areas for attention are maintaining muscle mass and improving hydration.
