Inbody770 BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS

What is Inbody 770?

The Inbody770 device is a very advanced device that works with BIA technology, which is the internal resistance of your body resulting when a small electric current passes through it (except for the neck and head) without feeling it. This device will change your concepts by analyzing your body components and submitting a detailed report that includes more than 40 measurements. It can measure the mass of fats, muscles, water, the amount of minerals and protein in the body, and it can assess the balance of your appearance which helps you determine a healthy lifestyle that is best for you. All of this is done by 8 electrodes that reach the hands and feet, which increases the area of ​​contact with the body and makes the device 98% accurate. No other device in the world can match the accuracy and reliability of Inbody 770. This device has great features that we will get to know soon and it is available at Al-Hayat Medical Center in Qatar under the supervision of the best doctors and specialists in Qatar.

 

All you need to know About Inbody770:

Nowadays, health education regarding weight gain and its impacts on health and physical activity is rising, as well as weight control benefits. Moreover, it is important to pay attention to certain concepts related to the body such as the body mass index (BMI) (equal to weight ÷ square height), But is that enough?

Two people may be of the same length and weight, and therefore they will have the same BMI without accurate knowledge of whether the greater percentage is in favor of fat or muscle! So it was necessary to have a scientific method that gives small details and accurately shows the components of your body in order to find a true diagnosis of the concepts of obesity and thinness and to know the diet and sports that are best for you, which will reflect positively on your health. Through this article, we will be able to get to know more about Body Components Analyzer ” Inbody 770” and its amazing features

What are the features of Inbody 770?

  • 60-second tests: rapid measurement (less than a minute) of fat mass, muscle mass, and water level in the body without being wet with water, tingling, or any discomfort, simply requiring you to stand and hold the electronic hand.
  • No statistics: the device relies on resistance only to determine the results of analyzing actual body components, away from empirical estimates such as requesting knowledge of gender and age to predict body composition based on other data similar to patient data.
  • Special Database for the Inbody device: All data for the Inbody 770 device is automatically sent to the Inbody 770 program account, where it is saved in a database for the device’s website to view and manage your results easily and see your progress at any time and place.

The Main Features for “Inbody 770”:

  • Introduction of a new parameter the “Whole Body Phase Angle”, a very important indicator of Body Cell Health.
  • Simultaneous Multi-Frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (SMF-BIA) technology.
  • Muscle ratio and distribution in the body and the ideal ratio.
  • Fat percentage and distribution in the body and the ideal ratio.
  • The percentage of water in the body and the ideal ratio.
  • The rate of calorie burning in the body.
  • Calories required by the body.
  • Provide an estimate of your daily caloric intake and BMR metabolic rate.
  • Determination of body mass.

Results sheet of Inbody 770:

The results sheet provided by the Inbody 770 contains:

  • Weight.
  • The total percentage of water in the body.
  • The water inside and outside the cells.
  • Fat mass.
  • Muscle mass.
  • BMI.
  • Internal burning rate.
  • Minerals.

  • The amount of fat and muscles in the hands, legs, and trunk.

Each test from the Inbody 770 provides a full report on the results of the exams, detailing the percentage of muscles, fats, and water in the body. Inbody 770 is the number one device in providing the most comprehensive analysis of the body. In addition to the report on the results of analyzing body components, the device has a report that shows the formation of water in it in detail (the total amount of water in the body, water inside cells, water outside cells, the distribution of water in the body in detail, etc…).

Research Outputs :

Use Whole Body Phase Angle and Segmental Phase Angle to determine the integrity of a user’s cells. This output is ideal for rehabilitation and disease management in the medical field.

Body Water Result Sheet :

Understand Body Water Composition and Segmental Body Water Analysis to monitor trends and detect unusual shifts in fluid distribution that can result from injury, aging, obesity, and other health factors.  

What are the BODY COMPONENTS ANALYSIS of Inbody 770?

In this section, you can see how weight is broken down into Lean Body Mass and Total Body Water, which is broken into even smaller pieces: Intracellular Water, Extracellular Water, Dry Lean Mass, and Body Fat Mass. 

  • Intracellular Water (ICW): is the amount of body water held within the body’s cells.
  • Extracellular Water (ECW): is the water outside the cells. Added together (ICW + ECW ) to form total body water (TBW).
  • Dry Lean Mass (DLM): is the weight of the protein and mineral content in the body.

Adding ICW, ECW, and DLM together make up Lean Body Mass (LBM). 

LBM is the weight of everything in the body that is not body fat. This includes muscle, water, bones, and organs (everything except Body Fat).

MUSCLE-FAT ANALYSIS:

This section makes it simple for you to have a good and general idea about your current overall body composition and what changes you need to make. 

  • WEIGHT: Total Body Weight.
  • SKELETAL MUSCLE MASS (SMM): The total weight of your Skeletal Muscle (Note: Muscle weight is the weight of your muscles in kilograms, and it is called in some reports (SMM) Skeletal Muscle Mass), that is, the weight of the heart and other internal muscles outside the calculus, and of course we must all seek – men and women – to increase muscle mass.
  • BODY FAT MASS (BFM): This is how much body fat you have, and combines both the surface level and internal fat.

            Note: BFM (Body Fat Mass) is the weight of body fat in kilograms.

OBESITY ANALYSIS:

The Obesity Analysis includes the signature metric of any body composition analysis: Percent Body Fat (PBF). It can be calculated by dividing the weight of fats by total body weight.

THE HEALTHY FAT RANGE IN THE BODY: 

  • For men, the healthy range is between 10-20%.
  • For women, the healthy range is between 18-28%.

 

SEGMENTAL LEAN ANALYSIS:

The Segmental Lean Analysis shows how much Lean Body Mass is contained in each segment; not how much “muscle” is in each segment. The Inbody divides the body into 5 body segments: the two arms, two legs, and the trunk. The resistance of each of these parts is measured separately using 8 electrodes, which increases the accuracy of the measurement, especially in the trunk region because the resistance of this part is few, and any error or a slight change in measurements will affect other body measurements and in general, the analyzes indicate the presence of more people at risk from others, including:

  • Sedentary adults:  Sedentary adults who do not exercise commonly have below 100% Segmental Lean Mass especially in their legs, primarily due to jobs that require them to sit throughout most of the day.
  • “Skinny Fat” individuals (sarcopenic obese): (People who suffer from an imbalance in the distribution of fat in the body, meaning that their fat is concentrated in the abdomen and chest more than the arms and thighs) People with “skinny fat” profiles have more fat than is healthy for their bodies coupled with a low amount of Lean Body Mass. Their relatively overdeveloped fat or underdeveloped muscle mass contributes to their body weight and may result in scores below 100% for one or more body segments.  
  • The elderly:  The elderly are at particular risk for not having sufficiently developed Lean Body Mass due to their tendency to lose muscle as a result of increasing inactivity. This impacts their ability to care for themselves as they age and puts them at greater risk of falling and broken bones.

ECW/TBW ANALYSIS:

The ECW/TBW Analysis compares the ratio of ECW to TBW.

Most healthy people will have an average ratio of around 0.380, with an acceptable range being between 0.360 – 0.390. Anything beyond 0.390 may indicate swelling or excess ECW.

 

BODY COMPOSITION HISTORY:

Inbody 770 device automatically tracks some of the most important body composition metrics. This makes it really easy to identify trends over time. 

A graph like this can be a real eye-opener for you because it shows that negative changes in body composition can occur if your weight remains the same or even decreases for the wrong reason. 

Usage Of Inbody770:

The Inbody 770 is a premium Body Components Analyzer used for patient monitoring, medical research, sports medicine, etc…

Pre-analysis instructions of the Inbody device for the most accurate measurement of body components:

1- Do not make analysis after exercise

Do not do an analysis with the Inbody device immediately after exercise, as it is preferable to do an analysis of the components of the body before exercise and on an empty stomach to ensure the most accurate results.

2- Do not take a shower or use the sauna

Do not perform body composition analysis after bathing or using the sauna directly, because of sweat and heat cause a temporary change in transportation within the body.

3- Wear comfortable clothes

 Avoid wearing clothes and shoes that contain zippers, metal accessories, belts, and jewelry, so as not to impede direct contact with the electrodes of the device and affect the accuracy of the measurement.

4- Do all of your analysis under similar conditions

For a perfect and accurate follow-up and a correct comparison between the results of the consecutive analysis with the Inbody, perform all analyses under similar conditions (similar clothing, same time, before eating or exercising ….. etc.).

5- Use the tissue papers of the Inbody device

Wipe your hands and their bottom side thoroughly with the tissue paper of the Inbody device before the analysis, so that the carrier is not affected in the body.

6- Avoid talking while Inbody analysis

Avoid talking and speaking while analyzing body components, as this may affect analysis results.

7- These people are not recommended for analysis of body composition with the Inbody

It is important to know that the results of the analysis of the Inbody device will be affected in case of pregnancy or breastfeeding, or the presence of pacemakers, non-removable metal earrings and metal plates in the body, etc., so these people are not recommended to do an analysis of the body components of the Inbody device.

8- Consult a physiotherapist before performing an analysis with the Inbody

If you want to undergo an examination with the Inbody device, we recommend that you always consult a qualified physiotherapist to evaluate the effectiveness of your examination, especially when there are special medical conditions.

FAQ:

  •  How accurate is the Inbody 770?

Inbody 770 is very accurate and has an accuracy of 98-99% in analyzing body components and obtaining correct ratios.

  •  How can I improve my results of analyzing my body’s components with the Inbody 770?

To change the results of analyzing your body components for the better, you will not only have one goal, such as losing weight or building muscle, but you will also have two goals: reducing fat mass and increasing muscle mass.

To achieve them, you must:

  1. Measure the percentage of body fat.
  2. Choose a goal to work on first.
  3. Determine a healthy plan to achieve the goal.
  • Can I drink water before taking the  Inbody 770 analysis?

Drink a sufficient amount of fluid 24 hours before the analysis with the Inbody 770, to ensure normal body hydration before the test, provided you refrain from eating and drinking fluids at least two or 3 hours before analyzing the components of the body.

  • Why should I not eat immediately prior to the Inbody 770 analysis?

Because this may cause the mass of food to be included in the measurement, which affects the accuracy of the results. It is therefore recommended not to eat food 2 or 3 hours before taking the Inbody 770 analysis.

  • What is the appropriate time period between each Inbody 770 analysis?

For best results, Inbody recommends that the Body Components shall be analyzed with the Inbody 770 every 2-4 weeks.
