Abstract
This study examines the relationship between body composition metrics and psychosocial factors in college students. Using In-Body770 data and psychometric measures from LEMURS, we applied Canonical Correlation Analysis (0.43–0.75) to assess seasonal associations. Significant correlations emerged between body composition, self-compassion, and social support. Compared to freshmen, sophomores showed lower mindfulness, self-judgment, and isolation but higher common humanity, with freshmen experiencing greater seasonal fluctuations. Findings suggest body composition metrics can serve as biomarkers for psychosocial well-being, providing insights for scalable mental health modeling and intervention strategies.
