InBody 570
Your Local Body Composition Scan

Examining the Inbody 570 Scan:

A Guide to Interpreting the Results

The InBody 570 is a scale that uses the latest technology to determine a person’s body composition. Body composition refers to the proportion of fat, muscle, bone, water and other tissues in our bodies. By understanding and managing our body composition, we can make informed choices about our lifestyle, exercise routine, and nutrition to achieve optimal well-being. It is worth noting that focusing on body composition should not be solely about appearance or achieving a particular weight goal. Each person's body composition is unique, and what matters most is promoting overall health and well-being.

In less than two minutes, the InBody 570 scan gives you detailed measurements of various aspects of your body. The list below features the results you can expect after completing the scan.

Body Composition Analysis: an overview of your body composition

  1. Total Body Water —  total water content of intracellular (inside the cells) and extracellular (outside the cells).

  2. Lean Body Mass — the weight of everything in your body except fat.

  3. Body Fat Mass — the amount of all the fat in your body, both internal and on the surface level.

  4. Dry Lean Mass —  the weight of the proteins and the minerals in your body, excluding water content.

  5. Weight — your total weight.

Muscle, Fat, & Obesity Risk

A breakdown of the muscle-fat analysis to help understand body composition and narrow the focus of your goals

    1. Weight — the total body weight.

    2. SMM aka Skeletal muscle mass — the weight of the muscles that can grow with exercise.

    3. Body fat mass — the amount of surface level and internal fat that make up your weight.

    4. Interpreting the muscle fat analysis section—Everyone has either a C, I, or D-shaped body. The body type depends on the ratio of skeletal body mass versus the total body weight and fat mass. The above is an example of a “c” shape.

Obesity Analysis:

BMI: While a standard marker, BMI is unable to differentiate between fat and muscle. However, it is helpful when looking at reference ranges. When it comes to healthy weight, the result should be between 18.5 and 25.

Percent Body Fat- A much better indicator of your risk of obesity than BMI alone, looking at your body fat mass divided by total weight.

Segmental Lean Analysis

Where your lean body mass is located on the body. This gives us an idea of where you can place focus and if there are any imbalances in the body. The top bar shows the ideal weight and the bottom bar shows the current weight.

ECW/TBW Analysis

Fluid distribution within the body, showing how much of the body weight is composed of extracellular water.

Segmental Fat Analysis- where your body fat is located. Often used to see where body fat has been lost since the last scan.

Visceral Fat Level- fat located around the body organs is important as it is associated with inflammatory and metabolic disorders.

Basal Metabolic Rate- Knowing the amount of calories your body burns at rest allows us to look into caloric expenditure throughout the day and give you an idea of your body's needs.

In conclusion, optimizing body composition is an integral part of leading a healthy and fulfilling life. By striving for a healthy balance between body fat and muscle mass, we can enhance our overall health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve physical performance, and boost self-confidence. With commitment, awareness, and a holistic approach to lifestyle choices, achieving and maintaining a favorable body composition is attainable for everyone.
