   Body Composition and Bone Density Tests  

Jessica Shaffer, MS, CHES of the Vital Living Program at Point Lookout, will privide free body composition and bone density tests for the participants of Spectrum Generations Art of Aging Lifestyle Conference.

Body Composition* testing goes beyond measuring weight to give you a glimpse of what percentage of your total weight is lean tissue (muscle and bones) and what is fat.  The bond density** test uses a heel ultrasound to determine your risk of fracture due to poor bone strenght (osteoporosis). 

Both screenings are state-of-the-art and non-invasive, and will provide you with results that you may take home or share with your physician.  You will be required to remove your shoes and socks for both tests. 

The screenings will be done by appointment only and take 15 to 20 minutes to complete.  Appointments may be made by calling the Point Lookout Fitness Center at 789-2011.  Jessica is the Wellness Program Manager for Point Lookout and has many years of experience in senior wellness and health education.
