Understanding InBody Outputs

Body fat mass and muscle mass change with diet and exercise.

Weight: Total body mass
Weight is the total mass of the human body.
Percent Body Fat: Total mass of fat mass divided by total body mass A person’s body fat percentage is the total fat mass divided by the person’s weight.
It consists of essential body fat and storage body fat. Although the weight is same,the percentages of fat or muscle mass can be different. Therefore, body fat percentage is an essential item for diagnosing obesity. The standard range is 10-20% for men and 18-28% for women. The standard body fat percentage differs for children under 18 depending on their gender and height.
Muscle Mass: Skeletal Muscle Mass
Skeletal muscle represents the majority of muscle tissue and powers movement of the skeleton. Skeletal muscle is innervated by the somatic nervous system and is subject to voluntary control. This is the muscle that is influenced the most by physical activity.
Visceral Fat : Fat surrounding the major organs
Fat around organs is shown in levels between 1 and 20. People with visceral fat levels above 10 are considered unhealthy and are at higher risk for diseases like heart disease, cancer and sleep apnea.

Q1. The InBody Test results vary. Why is there a difference in outcomes?

A. If you are standing with incorrect posture, outcomes will vary. Make sure your hands and feet are come in contact with the electrodes properly. Maintain this posture until the Test is complete.
If you have dry hands and/or feet, clean them with an InBody Tissue before testing. InBody recommends testing during the same time of day, under the same conditions for accuracy.

Q2. What is the normal range of visceral fat level?

A. Visceral fat level is InBody’s method of level display which leveled cross- section of visceral fat from 1 to 20. For adults, it is normal if visceral fat level is below 10.
The lower the visceral fat level, the better.

Q3. What is the standard range of body fat percentage?

Gender	Low	Standard	High
Man	below 10%	10 – 20%	over 20%
Woman	below 18%	18 – 28%	over 28%

Q4. What does my InBody Ranking mean?

A. Your InBody Ranking is based off a formula that compares your weight, muscle mass,and body fat mass. A person with a high body fat percentage would have a lower score than a person with a lower body fat percentage. Lose body fat mass to see your ranking increase.

Q5. What if the user does not know his or her height?
A. Height is important for obtaining accurate InBody Test results. Measure the user on a stadiometer for best results.

Q6. If the user’s thighs or armpits touch, would that affect the test results?
A. Yes. If the user’s thighs or armpits touch, have him or her wear a light short sleeve shirt and shorts to obtain more accurate results.

Q7. How do you make the results stay on the screen longer?
A. InBody Test results are shown on the LCD screen for 100 seconds. If you want to see it for a longer period of time, turn the dial.
