InBody body composition analysis provides the most accurate and comprehensive assessment of your body's composition, going far beyond simple weight measurements to reveal detailed insights about muscle mass, body fat distribution, metabolic health, and overall physical condition.

What is InBody Body Composition Analysis?

InBody uses advanced bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology to measure body composition with medical-grade accuracy. This non-invasive test provides detailed information about muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, water balance, and metabolic indicators in just minutes.

How InBody Analysis Works

The InBody system sends safe, low-level electrical currents through your body to measure:

• Total Body Water: Intracellular and extracellular fluid balance
• Protein Mass: Muscle protein content and quality
• Mineral Mass: Bone density and mineral content
• Body Fat Mass: Total and regional fat distribution
• Muscle Mass: Skeletal muscle mass in each body segment

Primary Applications

First-Line Health Assessment:

• Obesity Management: Precise body fat measurement and tracking
• Metabolic Assessment: Evaluation of metabolic health indicators
• Fitness Evaluation: Baseline fitness and body composition assessment
• Nutritional Counseling: Data-driven dietary recommendations
• Weight Loss Monitoring: Accurate tracking of fat loss vs. muscle loss

Second-Line Clinical Applications:

• Sarcopenia Screening: Early detection of muscle mass loss
• Athletic Performance: Optimization of training and nutrition
• Eating Disorders: Monitoring of treatment progress
• Chronic Disease Management: Assessment of metabolic conditions
• Post-Surgical Monitoring: Recovery and rehabilitation tracking

Advanced Research Applications:

• Body Composition Research: Clinical and research studies
• Aging Studies: Age-related changes in body composition
• Hormone Therapy Monitoring: Effects of hormonal treatments
• Cancer Cachexia: Monitoring muscle wasting in cancer patients
• Clinical Trials: Objective measurement for research protocols

Comprehensive Health Metrics

Body Composition Analysis:

• Muscle Mass Distribution: Arms, legs, and trunk muscle mass
• Body Fat Percentage: Total and regional fat distribution
• Visceral Fat Level: Dangerous internal organ fat
• Body Mass Index (BMI): Weight-to-height ratio assessment
• Percent Body Fat: Accurate body fat percentage

Metabolic Health Indicators:

• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Daily calorie requirements at rest
• Total Daily Energy Expenditure: Complete calorie needs
• Muscle-Fat Analysis: Optimal balance for health
• Obesity Analysis: Risk assessment and classification
• Body Water Analysis: Hydration and fluid balance
