What does an InBody 230 analysis show?

Mahziar Clinic medical team · 3 min read

Measuring with bioelectrical impedance

The InBody 230 passes a very weak electrical current through the body and estimates water, muscle and fat from tissue resistance. The test takes under a minute and is painless.

What's in the report?

Weight, skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass, body fat percentage, BMI, and muscle and fat distribution across the arms, legs and trunk. These numbers show whether weight lost came from fat or from muscle.

Preparing for the test

Avoid eating for 2 to 3 hours, don't exercise, empty your bladder and remove metal jewelry. People with a pacemaker should not take this test.
