InBody Results Interpretation

InBody Test?

InBody Test not only examines the body composition, but also reveals percentage of body fat, muscle distribution, and body water balance; components that are key in understanding more about the body.

  • Body Composition Analysis
Body weight is the sum of Body Fat Mass and Lean Body Mass, which is composed of Dry Lean Mass and Total Body Water. Total Body Water is the sum 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. Maintain a balanced body composition to stay healthy.
  • Muscle-Fat Analysis
Compare the bar lengths of 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. Skeletal Muscle Mass is the amount of muscle attached to the bones. 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.
  • Obesity Analysis
Body mass index (BMI) is an index used to determine obesity by using height and weight. Percent body fat (PBF) is the percentage of body fat compared to body weight.
  • Segmental Lean Analysis
Evaluates whether the muscles are adequately developed in the body. The top bar shows the comparison of muscle mass to ideal weight while the bottom bar shows that to the current weight.
  • ECW/TBW Analysis
ECW/TBW, the ratio of Extracellular Water to Total Body Water, is an important indicator of body water balance. In a healthy state, ECW Ratio should be between 0.36 to 0.39. If your ECW Ratio is higher than .39, please consult your physician.
  • Body Composition History
Track the history of the body compositional change. Take the InBody Test periodically to monitor your progress. Continously measuring under the same ID allows the InBody to save each test for future comparison. The Body Composition History allows an individual to track the changes in body composition over their most recent 8 results (if selecting 'recent') or a cumulative graph that shows the progress from the first test results to the most recent results (if selecting 'total')
  • Body Fat-Lean Body Mass Control
Based on current body composition, the recommended change in Lean Body Mass and Body Fat Mass for a good balanced ratio. The '+' means to gain and the '-' means to lose.
  • Segmental Fat Analysis
Evaluates whether the amount of fat is adequately distributed throughout the body. Each bar shows fat mass in comparison to the ideal.
  • Basal Metabolic Rate
Basal Metabolic Rate is the minimum number of calories needed to sustain life at a resting state. BMR is directly correlated to Lean Body Mass.
  • Visceral Fat Level
Visceral Fat Level is an indicator based on the estimated amount of fat surrounding internal organs in the abdomen. Maintain a Visceral Fat Level under 10 to stay healthy.
