Visceral Fat & Cardiometabolic Risk: How Scans Can Help Save Lives

February 16, 2026

Learn why visceral fat is one of the most critical, but often overlooked, indicators of cardiovascular risk. Learn how Evolt 360 body composition scans help fitness, wellness, and corporate programs detect hidden risks, track progress over time, and turn data into actionable insights that improve health outcomes, engagement, and business results. 

Why Visceral Fat Matters

February is Heart Health Month, making it the perfect time to focus on cardiovascular risk and prevention. One of the most critical yet often overlooked health indicators is visceral fat. Unlike subcutaneous fat that lies beneath the skin, visceral fat wraps around vital organs such as the liver, pancreas, and heart. Elevated levels of visceral fat are strongly linked to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.

Traditional measurements such as weight or BMI often fail to capture this hidden risk. A client or employee may appear healthy on the outside while carrying dangerous levels of visceral fat internally. Detecting and monitoring this fat is crucial for early intervention and long-term health.

How Body Composition Scans Save Lives

The Evolt 360 Body Composition Analyzer provides reliable and medically approved measurements of visceral fat, skeletal muscle, body fat percentage, and metabolic indicators. Paired with the Evolt Active App and Evolt Insights Dashboard, operators can translate raw data into actionable insights.

For fitness centers, wellness clinics, and corporate wellness programs, this technology allows trainers and clinicians to design personalized programs targeting root causes of cardiometabolic risk, rather than just focusing on weight loss. Employees and clients gain a deeper understanding of their health, improving adherence, engagement, and satisfaction.

Compounding Results Over Time

One-off assessments are no longer enough to drive lasting results. The real value lies in ongoing monitoring, education, and follow-ups. Regular scans allow practitioners to detect changes in visceral fat early, adjust interventions, and celebrate measurable progress.

This approach not only supports preventative health but also builds trust and loyalty among clients, as they see tangible evidence of improvement and understand the impact of lifestyle changes on their health outcomes.
