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.

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.
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.
