InBody body composition test.

DESCRIPTION

» How does InBody work?

• InBody uses a technology called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), which works on the following principles:
  • Delivers gentle electrical currents to the body: The InBody device delivers gentle, safe electrical currents through electrodes on your feet and hands. These currents travel through your body's tissues.
  • Resistance measurement: Different tissues have different resistance to electrical current, for example water and muscle conduct electricity better, while fat has a higher resistance.
  • Calculate Body Composition: Based on the obtained resistance data, the InBody uses a complex formula to estimate the amount of
    • Fat Mass: The amount of fat in the body.
    • Muscle Mass: The amount of muscle in the body.
    • Total Body Water: The total amount of water in the body, which is divided into intracellular and extracellular water.
    • Bone Mineral Content: The amount of minerals in the bone.
    • Body Fat Percentage: The proportion of fat to total body mass.
    • Segmental Analysis: Body composition data can be displayed in segments such as left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, and torso, which helps to see muscle balance and fat distribution.

» Benefits of using InBody.

• InBody analysis is extremely useful for achieving your health and fitness goals.
  • Track changes in body composition: This helps you see whether weight loss or gain is coming from fat or muscle, which is more important than just looking at your total weight on the scale.
  • Precise workout and nutrition planning: Detailed information allows trainers or nutritionists to design a program that is right for each individual.
  • Assess your health risk: Knowing your body fat percentage and visceral fat can help you assess your risk for diseases like obesity, diabetes, or heart disease.
  • Check for dehydration: Measuring the amount of water in your body helps you determine your dehydration or fluid retention status.
  • Motivation: Seeing progress in muscle mass gains or fat loss can motivate a person to continue to achieve their goals.

» Accuracy and considerations.

• The InBody is considered one of the most accurate BIA devices, with studies showing good correlation with other standard measurement methods, such as DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) for body mass excluding fat. However, to get the most accurate results, it is important to follow these guidelines.

» Prepare before the examination.

• You should abstain from food and drink at least 2-3 hours before the examination.
• Avoid exercising for at least 12 hours before the test to avoid affecting muscle water levels.
• It is best to test at the same time each day to ensure comparable results.
• Remove any metal jewelry.
• Shoes, socks, and stockings should be removed to allow the feet to come into direct contact with the electrodes.

» Some limitations.

• People with implanted medical devices, such as pacemakers, should not use the InBody device as the electrical current may interfere with the device's operation.
• Pregnant women: Not recommended for use.
• People with metal in their body from surgery: This may affect the accuracy of the results.
