A Body Composition Scan, also known as Bioimpedance Analysis, is a non-invasive assessment that measures various components of body composition to provide insights into overall health and fitness. Some of these components include:

  • Body weight
  • Muscle and fat analysis
  • Percentage of body fat – subcutaneous and visceral fat
  • Percentage muscle mass
  • BMI
  • Body water composition
  • Measurement of phase angle (gives insight into the cellular health and the fluid balance of the body)

The data gained can be used for a variety of situations or reasons. This accurate, reproducible information does not rely on empirical data and therefore, reflects the patient that is measured and the changes that are happening within their body.

These include the following usages:

  • To evaluate a starting point, set goals and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and progress during rehabilitation.
  • Monitor body composition change when implementing training or new nutrition
  • Visceral Fat Result Sheet can be used to monitor changes in subcutaneous and visceral fat.
  • It can be used by dialysis patients to monitor patient’s hydration and nutrition status
  • Monitor injury and post-surgical recovery
  • In sports and athletes, manage body composition to enhance performance and reduce injury risk
  • In older adults, screen for muscle mass and imbalance to screen for risk of injury and falls
  • In rehabilitation, body composition analysis can be used as an easy way to gather precise data on things like muscle mass and nutritional status, helping patients make better treatment decisions at any stage of recovery.

Inbody 970 is the latest technology in body composition analysis. The InBody970 is equipped with state-of-the-art 3MHz technology and a new ergonomic design to better suit patients with different conditions and medical specialities than ever before.

The InBody body composition analyser can be used on anyone from children from the age of 3 to athletes to morbidly obese (up to 250kg) to the elderly.

InBody technology is different from that used in other BIA devices:

  • It can directly measure and can measure the body segmentally.
  • Is capable of accurately measuring impedance in the trunk.
  • The InBody 970 uses multiple frequencies for analysis.
  • Does not use empirical estimations in calculating values.
  • InBody can evaluate a wide range of body types, from extremely obese, to elderly, to athletic.

The InBody test takes 90 seconds during the testing phase. The entire process takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

No. Our trained clinician will support you every step of the way.

The InBody should be done in light clothing, ideally gym wear. You will need to remove your shoes and socks before your test

The InBody body composition analyser can be used on anyone from children from the age of 3 to athletes to morbidly obese (up to 250kg) to the elderly.

Inbody tests are recommended to be carried out in the morning. However if this isn’t possible you should aim to do the test on an empty stomach (at least 2 hours after a meal). You should also avoid testing immediately after exercising.

You will receive a printout of the results as soon as the test is over. You can also bring up the results on your phone using the InBody app.

No. The app will inform you what the results mean. The GP appointment is for those who would like further interpretation of your results or advice on next steps based on the results.

 

The InBody follow-up appointment with a GP is 30 minutes long.

The test can be repeated every 2-4 weeks to check for changes in body composition as a result of training, rehabilitation, weight loss or other body changes.

People with artificial electrical implants such as a defibrillator or pacemaker are not recommended to take an InBody Test. The electrical currents of the InBody may disrupt the functionality of such devices.

Women who are on their menstrual cycle or are pregnant are not recommended to test as they may not obtain accurate results due to subtle changes in their hydration and body water levels.
