Body Composition Analysis & Body Water

BODY COMPOSITION

This section gives you a solid breakdown of your overall body composition, displaying these vital measurements in (lbs):

• Total Body Water (divided into Intracellular and Extracellular Water)
• Lean Body Mass
• Dry Lean Mass
• Body Fat Mass
• Weight

Let’s take a closer look at how to interpret this section and use it to determine if you’ve gained muscle or spot fluid imbalances.

Intracellular and Extracellular Water

At the top, you have Intracellular Water (body water inside cells) and Extracellular Water (body water outside cells), which make up Total Body Water.

Dry Lean Mass

This value is the weight of the protein and mineral content in your body.

Body Fat Mass

Below Dry Lean Mass is Body Fat Mass. This value reveals how much body fat, both surface level (subcutaneous) and internal (visceral), makes up your weight.

Displayed in the second column from the right, Lean Body Mass (LBM) is the sum of your ICW, ECW, and Dry Lean Mass. LBM is the weight of everything in your body except fat; for this reason, it is also called Fat-Free Mass. Lean Body Mass includes muscle, water, bones, and organs.

ECW/TBW Analysis

ECW/TBW is a measure of compartmental fluid distribution and shows, as a ratio, how much of your total body water is extracellular.

Taking multiple InBody Tests will establish your normal fluid status and help determine any imbalances. As a general guide, check to see that your ECW/TBW is below 0.390.

You’ll see minor fluctuations in your ECW/TBW—that’s normal. This output is primarily used to give context to another section—the Segmental Lean Analysis.

Muscle, Fat, & Obesity Risk

Muscle-Fat Analysis

This section shows how your Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, and Body Fat Mass compare to the healthy average range of people of the same height and sex.

With Muscle-Fat Analysis, you get a better understanding of where your current body composition is so you can make any changes to get it to where you would like it to be.

Muscle-Fat Analysis is a favorite output for many people because it provides an easy-to-understand overview of body composition and helps narrow the focus of health goals.

Muscle-Fat Analysis has three components:

WEIGHT

This is your Total Body Weight.

SKELETAL MUSCLE MASS (SMM)

This is the total weight of your Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM). SMM is muscle that can be grown and developed through exercise. Unlike Lean Body Mass, which includes everything except body fat, you can confidently interpret an increase in SMM as muscle gain.

BODY FAT MASS

This is how much body fat you have (both the surface level and internal fat).

The Muscle-Fat Analysis also tells you whether you have a healthy balance of SMM and Body Fat Mass in respect to your weight.

Body Composition History

This graph displays some of the most vital measurements from your previous tests (up to 8). With Body Composition History, you can easily spot trends and track your progress over time.

At the bottom of the Result Sheet is the Body Composition History graph, which automatically tracks your Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, and Percent Body Fat measures from recent tests.

The purpose of this graph is to let you monitor positive and negative changes in body composition so you can adjust your diet and exercise plan to get the results you desire.

Obesity Analysis

This section displays your body fat percentage, or Percent Body Fat (PBF), and Body Mass Index (BMI), as well as the healthy ranges for these measurements.

Let’s explore how Obesity Analysis can give you a better idea of your current obesity level and your risk of related health conditions.

Body fat percentage is a division of your body fat mass by your total weight and a much better indicator of your risk of obesity than BMI.

Let’s take a closer look at why PBF is a superior metric for assessing your obesity and overall health risks.

Why you should focus on Body Fat Percentage over BMI

BMI is determined by dividing your weight by your height squared. BMI is just a single value that does not differentiate between fat or muscle mass. If you use BMI to track your fitness progress, you will never know if the changes were in fat or muscle.

BMI may also oversimplify health risks. Two people with the same height and weight would have the same BMI and health risks—even if one of them has a healthy amount of fat and high muscle mass.

On the other hand, PBF puts your weight into context by showing how much of it is fat mass. Tracking changes in your body fat percentage lets you focus on actual fat loss, not just weight loss, which can also come from muscle mass.

Healthy ranges for BMI and PBF

For BMI, 18.5 –24.99 kg/m2 is the healthy average range according to the World Health Organization. This healthy average range is presented on the Result Sheet, although the InBody device can be programmed to use a different range.

For PBF, the ranges differ for men and women, as women tend to carry more body fat than men due to their reproductive system and genetics. InBody calculates the recommended Body Fat Percentage ranges for men and women based on ACSM and ACE guidelines.

For men, the healthy range is between 10-20%.

For women, the healthy range is between 18-28%.

Body Composition History

This graph displays some of the most vital measurements from your previous tests (up to 8). With Body Composition History, you can easily spot trends and track your progress over time.

At the bottom of the Result Sheet is the Body Composition History graph, which automatically tracks your Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, Percent Body Fat, and ECW/TBW measures from recent tests.

The purpose of this graph is to let you monitor positive and negative changes in body composition so you can adjust your diet and exercise plan to get the results you desire.

Let’s examine how to track positive and negative body composition changes by looking at the example above. These results represent an athletic, D-shaped individual whose goal was to gain muscle and lose body fat.
