InBody Q & A

What is InBody?

InBody is a cutting-edge body composition analysis device that provides a detailed breakdown of your body’s health beyond just weight. Unlike traditional scales that only measure total body weight, InBody evaluates key metrics like muscle mass, body fat percentage, and water balance.

It’s widely used in medical, fitness, and wellness settings to track progress and guide personalized health plans.

How does InBody work?

InBody uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to measure your body composition. When you step on the device and hold the hand electrodes, a low-level electrical current passes through your body.

Since muscle, fat, and water conduct electricity differently, the device can analyze resistance and reactance to provide precise measurements of your body composition.

Unlike traditional BIA devices, InBody doesn’t rely on age or gender assumptions, ensuring more personalized and accurate results.

What can an InBody scan tell me about my body?

InBody provides a comprehensive analysis of the following:

Skeletal muscle mass: measures the amount of muscle in your body
Body fat percentage: determines the proportion of fat to total body weight
Visceral fat level: assesses fat stored around internal organs (linked to metabolic health)
Total body water: evaluates hydration levels by measuring intracellular and extracellular water
Segmental lean analysis: breaks down muscle distribution in each body segment (arms, legs, and trunk)
Basal metabolic rate: calculates how many calories your body burns at rest

Your Chicago Center for Women’s Health provider reviews the results immediately after the completion of your scan.
