Inbody diagnosis

InBody is the world leader in body composition analysis technology, also known as bioelectrical impedance analysis or BIA.

This device analyzes different criteria such as lean mass and fat mass to assess the general health of the patient and the quality of their nutrition.

This device uses thirty impedance measurements using six different frequencies that define fifty parameters related to body composition.

First of all, the InBody body assessment is established by considering your BMI and your body fat rate. For each criterion measured, it tells you the average in which you should be situated.

InBody allows you to measure the following indicators:

• Body composition: It measures the water, protein, mineral and fat levels in your body. Maintaining a balanced body composition helps you stay healthy. From this, the InBody scale will determine the score of your body composition, taking into account muscle, fat mass, and water. This reference score will be improved upon through the recommended treatments.
• Visceral fat mass: InBody also measures a very important aspect for your health, visceral fat. This is the fat that surrounds your organs. It is highly recommended to keep your visceral fat level below 100 square centimeters. Higher amounts of visceral fat are often associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease or diabetes.
• Muscle-Fat Analysis: InBody will establish a ratio of muscle mass to fat mass. The higher the muscle mass compared to the fat mass, the stronger the body.
• BMI (Body Mass Index): This index allows you to determine obesity using height and weight.
• Body Fat Rate (BFR): This is the percentage of body fat compared to body weight.
• EEC ratio: It defines the total body water, composed of intracellular water (ICW) and extracellular water (ECW). The EEC ratio of a healthy person should be between 0.360 and 0.390. The EEC ratio can detect unusual changes in fluid distribution or changes in the ECW/ICW ratio.
• Segmental fat analysis: This is the segmental analysis of lean body mass. This part of the results provides the weight of fat in each body segment and the percentage above or below sufficiency.
• Whole Body Phase Angle: This is the indicator of membrane integrity and water distribution between intra and extracellular cells. It determines the health of your cell membrane. In many cases of disease research, the analysis of the cell membrane is increasingly scrutinized. Based on research findings, a large phase angle suggests a better overall condition of the body’s cells. On the other hand, a low phase angle is highly predictive of decreased muscle strength.

Finally, nutritional aspects will be evaluated such as body fat free mass, basal metabolic rate (minimum recommended number of calories per day), degree of obesity etc…

Your Personal Beautician will welcome you to our Paris center and perform the InBody assessment.

This examination will produce a detailed report of your body composition and the results will be analyzed and, if necessary, forwarded to our referring dermatologist so that he can determine the most appropriate procedure.
