What Is Body Composition Analysis?
A body composition analysis is a full report that outlines your specific statistics, accurate to the minute the technology is used. In about 45 seconds, a non-invasive text can be used to give you information on the following:
- Your blood pressure
- Your weight
- Your strength
- Your cardiovascular fitness
- Your flexibility
- Your percent body fat
- Your muscle development
- Your basal metabolic rate
Getting a body composition analysis is an excellent way to get raw data about your health so that you can keep track of your fitness journey and muscle gains. With a body composition scan, you can understand how your diet, lifestyle, and training regime are improving your overall body composition. Not only is body composition technology state-of-the-art, but the information we get from a body composition analysis is personalized to you and sophisticated.
While the Body Mass Index (BMI) is still commonly employed today, it is now more widely accepted that results and application of the BMI can be an oversimplification of what should be a more complex, individualized portrait of one’s health and wellness. An outdated, cookie-cutter formula simply cannot give you a complete picture of your body and your health. If you’re ready to do more than monitor your weight and get a detailed, scientific understanding of your body, the body composition analysis is for you.
What Is The InBody 570?
The InBody 570 is a body measurement machine that uses safe, painless, low-level electrical currents to measure body composition with utmost precision. To use it, a patient can stand on the machine and hold the hand electrodes. In under a minute’s time, the InBody 570 can measure the fat, muscle, and water levels of someone’s body. It’s as simple and easy as standing on a treadmill and grabbing its handles.
What Can I Learn About Myself From An InBody Scan?
After an InBody Scan, we will have data so that you can learn:
- How healthy your cells are
- Your body fat percentage
- How many calories your body burns at rest
- Whether you’re losing or gaining fat and muscle mass
- If you are dehydrated or drinking enough water
How Can A Healthcare Provider Use My InBody Scan Results?

- Monitor renal function and muscle mass in patients with diabetes
- Monitors statistics of patients undergoing dialysis treatment
- Identify severe cirrhosis and ascites conditions in patients
- Monitor the muscle mass of patients rehabilitating from injury or surgery
- Assess certain risks in patients with heart disease
- Assess body cell mass in transplant patients
Am I A Good Candidate For A Body Composition Analysis?
If you are pregnant, and have a pacemaker, or defibrillator, you should let your healthcare provider know before scheduling your InBody Scan. This information is important for your health and wellness and for the safe use of the body composition scan technology.
