body composition
Fat-muscle-bone ratio
Body composition is the proportion of fat, muscle, bone, and water that make up a person's body.
Unlike simple weight measurements, body composition distinguishes between types of tissue: two people at the same weight may have very different body compositions.
Athletes and fitness professionals track body composition to assess health and training progress: Her body composition improved even though her weight stayed the same.
