Quick Step Guide
- Remove shoes, socks, heavy articles of clothing, and items in pockets. Wipe hands and feet with InBody Tissue. Stand on the scale to measure your weight and align your feet with the foot electrodes.
- Input User's ID, Age, Height, and Gender. Then press ENTER. (Creating a unique user ID records and tracks user progress.)
- Grab the hand electrodes, placing your thumbs on the thumb electrodes and wrapping your fingers around the bottom electrodes.
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and keep arms 15 degrees away from the torso during analysis. Relax all muscles during the test and avoid moving to ensure accurate results.
- Results will automatically print after test completion, and you may begin your consultation right away.
Result Sheet Interpretation
This is the results sheet. Each section will be explained thoroughly to help understand the test results. The numbers next to each section indicate the page number.
Body Composition Analysis
Body Weight is the sum of Body Fat Mass and Lean Body Mass. Lean Body Mass, also known as Fat Free Mass, is composed of Dry Lean Mass and Total Body Water. Dry Lean Mass accounts for the amount of protein and minerals in your body.
Total Body Water consists of Intracellular Water and Extracellular Water. Intracellular Water is the total amount of water within the body cells, and Extracellular Water is the total amount of water outside of the body cells. Total Body Water increases as Lean Body Mass increases. Maintain a balanced body composition to stay healthy.
The Total Body Water increases with Lean Body Mass since muscle retains approximately 73% of water, while fat only retains approximately 10% of water.
The Intracellular Water (ICW) is associated with anabolic processes, more Lean Body Mass, improved nutrient retention/use, and overall cellular health and integrity (Omega 3's).
The Extracellular Water (ECW) may indicate excess body fat or inflammation and water retention related to trauma, injury, toxicity, or malnutrition.
Muscle-Fat Analysis
Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM) is the amount of muscle attached to the bones (muscle that is most easily affected through exercise). Body Fat Mass is the sum of subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, and fat surrounding muscles. Subcutaneous fat is found beneath the skin, while visceral fat is found surrounding internal organs in the abdomen.
The purpose of this part is to compare your Skeletal Muscle Mass and Body Fat Mass. The longer the Skeletal Muscle Mass bar is compared to the Body Fat Mass bar, the stronger the body is.
Body Type Shapes:
- A C-Shape indicates a weak body type because Skeletal Muscle Mass is lower than Body Fat Mass.
- An I-Shape indicates a normal body type where Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, and Body Fat Mass are proportionally even.
- A D-Shape indicates a strong body type where Skeletal Muscle mass is high compared to Weight and Body Fat Mass.
Graph Interpretation: The shape formed by the Weight/Skeletal Muscle Mass/Fat Mass bars assists in understanding your body type.
Obesity Analysis
BMI Normal Range: WHO Standard 18.5 – 24.9
PBF Normal Range:
- Males: 10% - 20%, Ideal 15%
- Females: 18% - 28%, Ideal 23%
There are two ways to measure obesity: BMI and Percent Body Fat. BMI refers to Body Mass Index, an obesity classification that uses height and weight. Percent Body Fat is more accurate since it is based on your muscle-to-fat ratio. This section can reveal inaccuracies in BMI for muscular or obese individuals.
Segmental Lean Analysis
Segmental Lean Analysis evaluates whether muscles are adequately developed in the body. It shows how much Lean Muscle Mass is in each segment of the body. The trunk refers to the torso, including the chest, abdomen, back, and lower back.
The top bar compares your actual amount of Lean Muscle Mass to your ideal weight derived from your height. The numeric value at the end of the top bar is the actual pounds of Lean Muscle Mass in that segment. The length of the bar indicates whether your actual Lean Muscle Mass is under, normal, or over the ideal amount for a person of your height and ideal weight.
The bottom bar shows the percentage of Lean Muscle Mass compared to your own weight. The value at the end of the bottom bar is derived from dividing the segment's Lean Muscle Mass by your Weight. The length of the bar indicates whether the amount of Lean Muscle Mass in each segment is under, normal, or over the amount needed to sustain your weight.
Interpretation Tips:
- Draw a vertical line to compare the length of the bars and reveal symmetry issues. For example, if the right leg and left leg are symmetrical to each other but not to the right arm or left arm, it suggests the legs are weaker than the arms.
- This vertical line also compares the strength of each segment to proportion.
Three main objectives for Segmental Lean Analysis:
- Have all bar graphs reach within the Normal Range.
- Line up the 2 bar graphs in each segment.
- Have all bar graphs align straight down.
Body Water Analysis
The ratio of Extracellular Water (ECW) to Total Body Water (TBW) is an important indicator of body water balance. An optimal ECW/TBW ratio is 0.380.
The normal range falls between 0.360 to 0.390. A ratio closer to 0.360 indicates more Intracellular Water (ICW), Lean Body Mass (LBM), and better water/nutrient retention in cells. A ratio closer to 0.390 may indicate more Extracellular Water, fat mass, inflammation, water retention, and dehydration.
If the ratio exceeds 0.400, consult your physician.
Athletes or individuals with excess muscle mass tend to have a lower ECW/TBW ratio (close to 0.360). Therefore, the ECW/TBW ratio can be a good indicator of health and requires consistent monitoring.
Body Composition History
Track your past measurements on-screen and on the results sheet. The InBody device displays your previous results for Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, and Percent Body Fat to track changes over time.
Take the InBody Test periodically to monitor your progress. Continuously measuring under the same ID allows the InBody to save each test for future comparison. The Body Composition History allows individuals to track changes in body composition over their most recent eight results (if selecting "Recent") or view a cumulative graph showing progress from the first test to the most recent results (if selecting "Total").
Body Fat-Lean Body Mass Control
PBF Normal Range:
- Males: 10% - 20%, Ideal 15%
- Females: 18% - 28%, Ideal 23%
Body Fat refers to the recommended pounds of Fat Mass to be lost (-) and gained (+) to achieve the Ideal Percent Body Fat. Lean Body Mass (LBM) refers to the recommended pounds of muscle to be gained (+) or lost (-) to achieve the Ideal Percent Body Fat.
For example, it may be recommended to lose 21.6 lbs of Body Fat and gain 5.5 lbs of Muscle, resulting in a total weight change of a 16.1 lbs loss.
Segmental Fat Analysis
Segmental Fat Analysis shows the pounds and percentage of fat in each body section. The percentage at the end of the bar graph compares actual fat levels to the ideal levels. For example, a Right Arm showing 179% means this individual has 79% more fat in the Right Arm compared to the ideal person of that height.
Basal Metabolic Rate
Traditionally, the Harris-Benedict equation is used to estimate caloric needs based on gender, age, height, weight, and LBM. Some use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, similar to BMI. InBody uses John J. Cunningham's equation, which estimates caloric needs over a 24-hour period at rest based solely on LBM (Lean Body Mass).
The formula used is: BMR = 21.6 x LBM (kg) + 370 (where LBM is Lean Body Mass in kg).
The results indicate that a user will burn 1175 kcal within 24 hours at rest. This number helps determine the daily calorie intake needed to lose fat or gain muscle mass.
Visceral Fat Level
Visceral Fat Level refers to an estimated level of abdominal fat closely related to cardiovascular diseases. This measurement is typically found via CT scan and shown as Visceral Fat Mass or Area (in kg or cm²).
Level 10 (100 cm² of visceral fat) is considered normal. Levels above 10 indicate high risk, while levels below 10 indicate low risk. A lower Visceral Fat Level generally signifies better health.
