| contents | This study explores the relationship between body composition metrics, self-compassion, and social support among college students. Using seasonal body composition data from the InBody770 system and psychometric measures from the Lived Experiences Measured Using Rings Study (LEMURS) (n=156; freshmen=66, sophomores=90), Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) reveals body composition metrics exhibit moderate correlation with self-compassion and social support.
Certain physiological and psychological features showed strong and consistent relationships with well-being across the academic year. Trunk and leg impedance stood out as key physiological indicators, while mindfulness, over-identification, affectionate support, and tangible support emerged as recurring psychological and social correlates. This demonstrates that body composition metrics can serve as valuable biomarkers for indicating self-perceived psychosocial well-being, offering insights for future research on scalable mental health modeling and intervention strategies. |
