Overcoming the shortcomings of the tradition BCA technology, and going beyond weight, InBody body composition analyzers break down the body with noninvasive interventions, into four major components: fat, lean body mass, minerals, and body water in an organized, easy-to-understand Results Sheet.
This is one of the most powerful tools to guide, train, and care for patients /clients in ways that was never possible before.
InBody determines percentages of skeletal muscle mass, body fat and water. It provides a comprehensive printout that serves as an ideal educational tool for engaging patients in understanding health risk management and assesments.
Markers:
SEGMENTAL LEAN ANALYSIS: The Magnifying Glass
Measure lean mass distribution to identify risk of frailty.
- It can Identify problem areas in patients’ development
- Assess if the patient’s body is sufficiently developed in all segments of the body
- Track muscle imbalances, if any.
MUSCLE-FAT AND VISCERAL FAT ANALYSIS : Monitor excess fat mass.
This makes it simple for a quick glance through patient’s current overall body composition and what changes they need to make
SEGMENTAL ECW/TBW WATER ANALYSIS : Monitor fluid accumulation in each body segment. Systemic inflammation caused by excess visceral fat and inflammatory hormones increase fluid retention and a patient’s risk for developing comorbidities, such as cardiovascular and renal disease. Direct and objective measures of body water can increase detection of water retention and reduce risk of secondary health conditions linked to various illness. Track whole body ECW/TBW, a marker of inflammation and fluid imbalance, through the direct measurement of extracellular and total body water.
BODY COMPOSITION HISTORY Tracks changes in muscle, fat, and fluid balance to chart recognize trends in body composition. Identify positive or negative changes in body composition
with respect to weight.
It is a valuable tool for understanding patients with risk factors associated with various ailments based on more than 80+ parameters, with latest technology which provides accurate measures for body composition through its four core technologies. The information can be transacted into useful outputs such as body fat percentage, total body water, lean body mass and visceral fat area for further research and analysis.
“It (BIA) has been shown that it can reliably reflect body composition and associate with patient’s nutritional statuses or clinical outcomes.” Lee et al., 2015
InBody professional body composition analyzers rely on four pillars of technology to deliver quick, accurate and precise results. These pillars allow to trust that the results reflect patients’ true health from the inside out.
Making lives better with latest technology is what InBody believe in and we are striving to make that happen. InBody analysis is surely an effective tool for disease prevention, certified and utilised by professionals worldwide.
