ABOUT BODY COMPOSITION

What is the body composition?
The body composition of human body consists of moisture, protein, fat, and minerals in a certain ratio. Total Body Water exists inside and outside the cell at the boundary of the cell membrane, and is regulated and maintained within a certain range. Protein is a component that mainly forms the muscle layer with water and is distributed throughout the whole body, including the extremities and intestines. Lean fat mass is the sum of the body’s non-fat components, that is, Soft Lean mass and bone mineral mass. Fat Mass is stored in the subcutaneous and abdominal organs. It is decomposed and used as energy for normal physiological functions. However, excess Fat mass can accumulate in the body and cause obesity. A healthy person maintains a certain ratio of these body components, but conversely, an unhealthy person may have an imbalance among body components, causing obesity, nutritional deficiencies, and osteoporosis.

What is obesity?
Several methods are used to diagnose obesity, the key to determining the degree of obesity is the amount of Fat Mass. In general, obesity can be divided into ‘apparent obesity’, which is overweight compared to height, and ‘hidden obesity’, which has a high amount or ratio of Fat Mass. Therefore, although simple obesity evaluation is possible through Body mass index (BMI), but percentage of body fat measured using an impedance body fat analyzer can help for a more accurate diagnosis of obesity.
Necessity for body composition analysis
We can maintain a healthy body when human body components are harmonious and balanced, and the imbalance in the amount and distribution of those components may be related to various diseases. Impedance body fat analyzer is a device used for the purpose of analyzing the body composition constituting the human body to understand the basic health condition and to prepare in advance against harmful factors on health, which is one of the basic screening tools applied to the prevention and treatment of diseases.

Indicator for obesity judgment

• Percentage of Body Fat (%): It is the ratio of body fat to body weight. Finds the invisible obesity.
• Body Mass Index (kg/m2): Result of dividing weight by the square of height Has a strong relationship with disease morbidity.
• Obesity Degree (%): It is a value indicating the degree of obesity of the current weight compared to the standard weight.

Abdominal obesity
It is important not only to evaluate how much fat is accumulated in the body, such as percentage of body fat or fat mass, but also to evaluate where in the body it is accumulated. Fat Mass is divided into subcutaneous fat (stored under the skin) and visceral fat (stored between organs) according to the location where it is accumulated. WHR is the ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference, so it determines the body shape.
Segmental analysis
This device measures and evaluates body fat mass and soft lean mass in 5 segments of the right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg, and trunk. Because the human body does not always maintain the correct symmetry, rathern than questioning the slight difference, use it to evaluate how efficiently and positively you achieve your goal by exercise rehabilitation treatment for increasing muscle strength or muscle mass based on the initial analysis value.
Body type
About 20 types of body shapes can be derived from body weight, skeletal muscle mass, and body fat mass, and it determines the body shape closest to the user.
Biological age
It is the biological age considered according to the gender, actual age, and body composition results. Even if the body composition of all measured people is included in the normal range, it cannot be assumed that their conditions are all the same. Therefore, the biological age is determined by further subdividing the criteria for the body composition, which can be used as a reference for physical health level.

MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS

Precautions for measurement
The reliability of the results obtained by analyzing body composition can be judged based on the accuracy.
If the precision of the device, which means how much the body composition analysis value matches the actual body of the user, is called ‘accuracy’, the safety of the device that analyzes the same value under the samephysical condition and analysis environment is called ‘reproducibility’.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the analysis value, the user must comply with the following:

1. Water content increases after a meal, so measure on an empty stomach as much as possible.
   ･ Measure 3 to 4 hours after a meal.
   ･ Avoid caffeine or beverages which causes diuretic action, such as coffee, within 4 hours of measurement.
   ･ Drink 2 glasses of water 2 hours before the measurement.

2. Keep it stable so that the distribution of body fluid is constant before measurement.
   ･ Measure 3 to 4 hours after bathing, sauna, or sweaty exercise or activity.
   ･ Or measure before exercise or sweaty activity.

3. Do not drink alcohol for 24 hours before measurement.

4.  Wear light clothing for measurement.

5.  If you suddenly change your posture from a sitting position to a standing position, body water will come down to your lower body and affect the measurement.
   Measure after holding the standing position for 5 minutes.

6. Clean the measuring area and the electrode, and make sure that there is no foreign object between them.

7. Changes in room temperature may also affect the measurement results.
   At room temperature around 20℃, measure after the body’s warmth has stabilized.

8. Changes in weight and body composition occur throughout the day, so measure at a fixed time.
   For people who stand for a long time, measuring in the morning will give more accurate analysis results.

9. Before measuring, go to the bathroom to remove as much body remnants as possible.

10. For measurements, keep the correct measurement method and posture.

In order to maintain the balance and health of body composition by examining changes in body composition through continuous body composition analysis, and comparing the results, the analysis is carried out by maintainging constant physical and environmental conditions.
In this case, it is more important to maintain the same conditions for analysis than to maintain the same conditions for the accuracy of analysis results. What is used in this case, is the reproducibility of the device. When the amount of food, the elapsed time after a meal, and the activity conditions (exercise, temperature, sauna, intake of large amounts of drinks, urination, etc.) that occur within the time affecting the analysis are kept constant, and the reproducibility of the device is secured, it means that the analysis results indicate the amount of continuous body composition change, so it can be used to evaluate the desired change in body composition.

Correct Measuring Posture
How to stand on a scale with a foot electrode

• Check whether the foot electrode or the electrode on the handle is clean.
• Remove socks or stockings when using a foot electrode.
• Remove sweat or foreign substances from your hands and body parts that will come into contact with the hand or foot electrode.
• Stand so that your feet contact the foot electrode below.
  In this case, be careful not to get your pants or clothes caught between the electrodes and your feet.

How to hold the hand electrode

•  Remove sweat or foreign substances from hands.
• Hold the hand electrode so that your palm and fingers touch the entire electrode.

Note

Body Composition Analysis
The components consisting of the human body can be broadly divided into Total body water, protein, minerals, and fat mass. The amount and ratio of such body composition is used as an indicator for diagnosing the health condition of the body.

1. Weight
   The sum of all body components, which means the weight.

2. Fat Free Mass (FFM)
   It refers to the value excluding body fat from body weight, which can also be calculated as the sum of soft lean mass and bone mineral.

3.  Soft Lean Mass (SLM)
   Muscles are largely composed of skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and visceral muscle, which can be calculated as the sum of body water, protein, and soft tissue minerals.

4. Total Body Water (TBW)
   It consists of intracellular and extracellular water based on the cell membrane, and the sum of the two constitutes total body water in the body.

5.  Protein
   It is a major component of the human body that composes muscle with water, which can be used as an index indirectly judging the nutritional status of cells.

6.  Minerals
   Minerals are mostly composed of components that make up bones, and are divided into minerals in bones (bone minerals) and minerals outside bones (soft tissue minerals).

7. Fat Mass (FM)
   It is the sum of the amount of subcutaneous fat mass and visceral fat mass, which means total fat mass. Skeletal Muscle / Fat Analysis
   • Weight
   The standard weight is calculated based on the standard value of BMI, and the normal range is ±15% of the standard weight.
   • Skeletal Muscle Mass
   Muscles are composed of skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and visceral muscle.
   Of these, the muscle that attaches to bones to form a skeleton and can be moved by human will is called skeletal muscle, which accounts for about 60% of total soft lean mass.
   • Fat Mass (FM)
   Fat mass is mainly divided into essential fat and reserve fat, and it can be expressed as the remaining after excluding fat free mass from body weight, it is used as an index for diagnosing obesity along with BMI.
   Obesity Analysis
   • Body Mass Index (BMI)
   Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated as weight (kg) / height (m2 ).
   For an accurate obesity diagnosis, it is recommended to analyze not only the BMI, which considers only the external factors of the body, but also the percentage of body fat (FM / Weight) derived from the BIA.| Underweight| Standard weight| Overweight| Obesity
   ---|---|---|---|---
   Korea| Less than 18.5| 18.5≤ ~ ＜23| 23≤ ~ ＜25| Over 25
   WHO| Less than 18.5| 18.5≤ ~ ＜25| 25≤ ~ ＜30| Over 30
   China| Less than 18.5| 18.5≤ ~ ＜24| 24≤ ~ ＜28| Over 28

•Percentage of Body Fat (PBF)
Percentage of body fat is a value that represents the ratio of body fat to body weight and is used together with BMI to diagnose obesity. The normal range (%) is 10≤ ~ ＜20 for men and 20≤ ~ ＜30 for women.

Segmental Analysis
In order to evaluate the segmental development of each body part for the soft lean mass, fat mass and total body water, it provides the analysis data of five parts of the body (arms, legs, and trunk).
It provides measurement values and standard ranges for each segment, and helps to understand the current state at a glance through graphs of soft lean mass and fat mass.
Body Water Analysis
Evaluate the extracellular water ratio (ECW Ratio) through the measured extracellular water (ECW) and intracellular water (ICW). The extracellular water ratio means the ratio of extracellular water to total body water, which is an index to evaluate the water balance of the human body, and the normal range is 0.360 ~ 0.390.
The value higher than the borderline may indicate an unstable body water balance.
This occurs due to undernourishment and imbalances, fatigue, human wastes, cell health problems, etc.
History
It provides result data on weight, mass, and skeletal muscle mass of the user 8 times in a graph so that the user can check the body composition changes at a glance.
Comprehensive Evaluation

• Body Type
  About 20 types of body types can be derived from weight, skeletal muscle mass, and body fat mass, and among them, the body shape closest to the current user is presented.

• Biological Age
  Biological age is considered according to the results of gender, actual age, and body composition, which is a numerical value that can be used as a reference for the level of physical health.
  The range of biological age is ±10 years of actual age, and the minimum value is 20 years old.
  Therefore, if the actual age is less than 20 years old, the biological age is displayed the same as the actual age.

• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
  It means the minimum amount of energy required to sustain life. Considering that muscle tissue that is proportional to fat free mass has a great effect on basal metabolic rate, the calculation method uses Katch-McArdle’s formula, which uses our direct measurement data of impedance as a parameter to obtain accurate basal metabolic rate. BMR(Katch McArdle formula) = 370 + (21.6 × FFM)

• Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)
  Total daily energy expenditure is defined as the sum of the basal metabolic rate, active metabolic rate, and digestive metabolic rate during the day. Digestive metabolic rate was not considered because it was impossible to measure and it fluctuates quite small. Considering that there is a large difference in calorie requirements depending on the amount of calories consumed (active metabolic rate) upon the amount of activity, the activity coefficient is set as follows: Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) = Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) × Physical Activity LevelActivity level| Stable state| Light activity| Normal activity| Heavy activity| Extreme activity
  ---|---|---|---|---|---
  Activity coefficient| 1.2| 1.375| 1.55| 1.725| 1.9

• Obesity Degree
  It is a value that judges the degree of obesity based on the current weight and the standard weight, which is derived by the formula below.
  Obesity Degree = (Current weight – Standard weight) / Standard weight × 100 (%)

• Total score
  Even if the body composition is within the normal range, it cannot be assumed that everyone is in the same condition. Accordingly, total score was determined by dividing the criteria in more detail than the normal range of each body composition, and the biological age is calculated based on this, judging the user’s physical condition more closely.

Nutritional and Cellular Health Assessment
You can evaluate the nutritional status through protein and minerals, which are the main nutrients for body immune and regulatory functions, and the health status of cells through body cell mass and phase angle.
Furthermore, it can be used as basic data for professional diagnosis and treatment.
Body Balance Assessment
It is an item that evaluates whether the upper body left and right, lower body left and right, and upper and lower body are in balance in the human body, which is evaluated among balance, weak imbalance, and imbalance according to our judgment criteria.
Body Composition Chart
The sum of body fat mass index (FMI) and fat free mass index (FFMI) is the body mass index (BMI).
The body composition chart helps you to understand the whole body composition status at a glance through a chart that includes all of the values of FMI, FFMI, BMI, and PBF. The user’s condition is indicated by a black dot, and even if each subject has the same BMI value, the higher the ratio of fat free mass to fat mass, the closer to the muscle-developed body type (lower right).
Skeletal Muscle Mass Index
Some items in the research content are indirectly estimated calculation values.

• Skeletal Muscle Mass Index (SMI) SMI is an index of skeletal muscle mass to height (kg/m2  ), which is used as an index to evaluate sarcopenia.

• Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass Index (ASMI)
  ASMI is an index expressed as a percentage (%) of muscle mass in the extremities compared to body weight, which is used as a correction index together with SMI to evaluate sarcopenia.

• Waist circumference (WC)
  Our waist circumference is estimated based on the visceral fat level. The actual measurement method is based on the approximate circumference of the navel, midway between the lowest rib and the top of the pelvis in the state of exhalation.
  The standard values for each country are shown in the table below.

| WHO| Korea| Japan| China (Taiwan)| Thailand| USA
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Male| 102cm or less| Less than 90cm| Less than 85cm| Less than 85cm| Less than 90cm| 40 inch or less
Female| 88cm or less| Less than 85cm| Less than 90cm| Less than 80cm| Less than 80cm| 35 inch or less

• Waist hip ratio (WHR)
  It refers to the ratio of hip circumference to waist circumference, calculated as (waist circumference / hip circumference).
  When it is 0.9 or more for men and 0.85 or more for women, it is judged as abdominal obesity.

• Visceral Fat Level (VFL)
  Subcutaneous fat and visceral fat are evaluated as appropriate when the ratio is 6:4, and the level is displayed by classifying the level of into 1 to 20 levels according to the ratio of visceral fat. Levels 1 to 4 are subcutaneous, levels 5 to 8 are balanced, levels 9 to 10 are borderline types, levels 11 to 15 are visceral obesity, and levels 16 to 20 are highly visceral obesity types.

• Visceral Fat Area (VFA)
  Estimate and calculate the cross-sectional area of fat accumulated in the abdominal viscera and display it as cm 2 unit. Excessive accumulation of visceral fat can cause various adult diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure, so it needs to be controlled. Normal range is 50~100cm2 for male and 40~80cm2 for female.

• Visceral Fat Mass (VFM)
  It provides the amount of fat located in the intestines through an indirect estimation formula.
  The sum of visceral fat mass and subcutaneous fat mass is the Fat mass.

• Body Cell Mass (BCM)
  The body cell mass represents a value proportional to the protein and the intracellular water mass, which is used as an index to judge the health of cells along with the phase angle. Insufficient body cell mass can cause stunted growth, deterioration of nutritional status, and weakened immunity.

Impedance
It provides the impedance measurements for each part for 5K, 50K, 250K (Hz). This is mainly used as a reference for academic research or to infer the operation evaluation of the device and changes in the user’s condition. There is no normal value of impedance, and since each individual has a unique value as the human body resistance value measured by the device, the measurement accuracy can be judged by checking whether the impedance value is similar wherever it is measured.
Blood Pressure Result
It is the result that is output when the body composition analyzer and blood pressure monitor are connected. Through this, you can easily compare and analyze the statue between blood pressure and body composition. Blood pressure is judged as high when the systolic blood pressure (maximum) is 140mmHg or higher or the diastolic blood pressure (minimum) is 90mmHg or higher. Because high blood pressure progresses slowly without any specific symptoms, it is important to check the blood pressure by measuring it periodically.
QR Code
Scanning the QR code displayed on the result sheet or the screen using the ACCUNIQ APP, you can easily manage the test result history by registering the test results to the server and user device. The ACCUNIQ app can be installed by searching for ACCUNIQ in the Play Store (Android) or Apple Store (IOS).

We provide measurements and normal range of five parts of the body (arms, legs, and trunk) to evaluate the developmental level of each segment of the body for soft lean mass.
History
The cumulative result data for height percentile, weight percentile, and BMI percentile are displayed in graphs over eight times so that the growth change process of the user can be understood at a glance.
Height/Weight/BMI Assessment
It is possible to evaluate the relative growth in height, weight, and BMI of children and adolescents of the same age through the WHO Child Growth Standards (refer to the World Health Organization), and to compare and predict physical conditions according to age. The figure of 50% on the graph is the standard physical development index.
Impedance
It provides the impedance measurements for each part for 5K, 50K, 250K (Hz).
This is mainly used as a reference for academic research or to infer the operation evaluation of the device and changes in the user’s condition.
