Abstract:
Traditional obesity assessment methods, reliant on simple indicators like body mass index (BMI), provide limited insight into individualized obesity risk profiles. The FITME project addresses this limitation by developing a multi-sensor, radiation-free framework for precision obesity profiling, capturing inter-individual variability. At its core, the Human Analysis Laboratory (HAL) integrates synchronized 3D/4D optical body scanning (MOVE4D), infrared thermography (IRT), and markerless motion analysis to precisely capture morphology, thermoregulation, and functional performance. These external-body measurements are validated against reference standards for body composition (including medical imaging DXA/CT), and contextualized by a detailed set of Supplemental Biological Indicators (S-BIs), including clinical biochemistry and gut microbiota profiling. The integration of these domains produces anatomically registered 3D models enriched with cross-validated data sources. The pipeline generates Obesity Indicators (OIs) derived from the fusion of these domains. The ultimate aim is to train and validate AI predictive models using OIs to accurately estimate body composition, shape, muscular function, and Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) risk. A representative case study illustrates the methodology.
