InBody Composition Scan
Science & Benefits
InBody devices use a method called Bio-Electrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to measure body composition, which divides your weight into different components such as lean body mass and fat mass to assess health and nutrition.
Because of its technology, InBody has become one of the most accurate BIA devices on the market and has been found to give a high correlation of 0.98 to a DEXA scan for lean body mass in a population of adults.
Segmental ECW ratio analysis allows monitoring of abnormal changes in fluid balance due to injury, ageing, obesity etc. It provides a comprehensive picture of fluid composition in the body per segment, allowing targeted analysis with appropriate advice. All of these results are clearly presented in the form of a bar graph, making the differences easy to read.
Segmental Phase Angle is a powerful indicator of cell health and overall vitality and is accurately measured by the InBody 770. A higher phase angle indicates strong, functioning cells, while a lower value can indicate weakened cell membranes, often associated with malnutrition or health problems. The segmental aspect of the measurement makes it possible to assess each segment of the body separately. This measurement is essential for medical and sports professionals to assess overall health and monitor the effectiveness of treatments or training programmes.
