KEYNOTE 1
Body Composition Result Sheet
It provides a better idea of your overall health. Body composition analysis can accurately show changes in fat mass, muscle mass, body fat percentage, and body water balance.
Body Composition Analysis Body composition is a method of describing what the body is made of. BWA offers quantitative values for four core body components: Body water, Protein, Minerals, and Fat. These measured values are evaluated by the reciprocal ratio along with the normal ranges.
Muscle-Fat Analysis The balance between Skeletal Muscle Mass and Body Fat mass is a key health indicator. Muscle-Fat Analysis shows this balance by comparing the length of the bars for Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, and Body Fat Mass.
Obesity Analysis Accurate obesity analysis cannot be performed using BMI, but the ratio of body fat compared to the weight, which is called the Percent Body Fat, must be assessed.
Segmental Lean Analysis analyzes the lean mass in each body segment helps identify imbalances and insufficiently developed muscle mass, which can be used to develop targeted exercise programs. The lean mass of the arms, trunk (torso), and legs are represented by two bars. Upper bar represents muscle in (kg), and bottom bar shows the percentage.
ECW Ratio Analysis The extracellular water ratio shows the body water balance. The ratio between intra and extracellular water remains constant at 3:2 ratio in healthy case, and edema occurs when this balance is broken down. In addition, segmental extracellular water can be used as a diagnostic indicator for edema, circulation or nutritional problems
Body Composition History With dot graph, you can monitor changes in Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM), Percent Body Fat (PBF) and Extracellular Water Ratio (ECW Ratio).
InBody Score It is unique index created by InBody to make it easier to understand the current body composition status. The standard range is between 70~90 points, and based on the weight control, the point +,- from 80 points.
Visceral Fat Area Visceral fat is the fat surrounding your organs. InBody recommends people maintain a Vsiceral Fat Level under 10 or Visceral Fat Area under 100㎠. Higher amounts of visceral fat are associated with the development of diseases like diabetes, stroke and dementia.
Weight Control shows the recommended weight, fat and muscle mass for a healthy body. The ‘+’ means to gain and the ‘-‘ means to lose. Use the weight control to set your own goal.
Research Parameters provides additional parameters located on the right side of the sheet. The BWA can print several different combinations of these parameters depending on the needs of the user.
Whole Body Phase Angle is related to the health status of the cell membrane. Strengthening of the cellular membrane and structural function will increase the Phase Angle, while damage or a decrease in function will result in a decrease in the Phase Angle.
Segmental Body Phase Angle indicates the Phase Angle of each part of the body, representing the level of structural integrity and function of the cell membrane.
Impedance is the resistance that occurs when weak alternating current is applied to the human body. If the measurement is done properly, the lower the frequency, the higher the point representing the impedance.
KEYNOTE 2
Body Water Result Sheet
Provides fluid specific results such as total body water, intra and extracellular water ratio, and water control.
It enables to monitor fluid balance of the patients.
Body Water Composition 50-70% of our body is composed of water. Body water is distributed in every cell and fluid in our body. Most of them are present in the cells and the rest are in the form of blood and interstitial fluid. Water inside the cell membrane is called intracellular water, and the water outside the cell membrane is called extracellular water.
ECW Ratio Analysis The extracellular water ratio shows the balance of body water. The ratio between intra and extracellular water remains constant at 3:2 ratio in healthy case, and edema may occur when this balance is broken down. In addition, Segmental Extracellular Water can be used as a diagnostic indicator for edema, circulation or nutritional problems
Segmental Body Water Analysis You can assess body water balance by analyzing the Total Body Water of each segment in the Segmental Body Water Analysis. The amount of body water in the arms, trunk, and legs are shown in the graph. Muscles holds body water, so changes in muscle mass result in changes in body water.
Segmental ECW Ratio Analysis Segmental ECW Ratio is displayed in a graph so you can easily determine if the ICW and ECW are balanced. By analyzing the ECW Ratio, you can assess if there is a problem with body water circulation. This can be helpful for monitoring the recovery of post-surgery or hemodialysis patients.
Body Water Composition History provides the changes in Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, Intracellular Water, Extracellular Water, and Extracellular Water Ratio. Take the BWA test periodically to monitor your progress.
Body Composition Analysis Body composition is a method of describing what the body is made of. BWA offers quantitative values for four core body components: Body water, Protein, Minerals, and Fat. These measured values are evaluated by the reciprocal ratio along with the normal ranges.
Muscle-Fat Analysis is to show the balance between Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass and Body Fat Mass. In the parenthesis, you may see the normal ranges for each.
Obesity Analysis displays both BMI and Percent Body Fat. PBF is more accurate indicator of your health because it compares your fat levels to your weight. BMI is included in the InBody result because it is still commonly used in scientific research.
Whole Body Phase Angle Phase Angle is related to the health status of the cell membrane. Strengthening of the cellular membrane and structural function will increase the Phase Angle, while damage or a decrease in function will result in a decrease in the Phase Angle.
Segmental Body Phase Angle Segmental Phase Angle indicates the Phase Angle of each part of the body, representing the level of structural integrity and function of the cell membrane.
Impedance Impedance is the resistance that occurs when weak alternating current is applied to the human body. If the measurement is done properly, the lower the frequency, the higher the point representing the impedance.
Research Parameters It provides additional parameters located on the right side of the sheet. The BWA can print several different combinations of these parameters depending on the needs of the user.

Muscle-Fat Analysis shows this balance by comparing the length of the bars for Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, and Body Fat Mass. The balance between Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, and Body Fat Mass can be analyzed by comparing the length of each bar.
Obesity Analysis Accurate obesity analysis cannot be performed using BMI, but the ratio of body fat compared to the weight, which is called the Percent Body Fat, must be assessed.

Evaluation Result Sheet
Based on 13 million sets of InBody Big Data, it provides averages and standard deviation graphs for each result parameters according to age. It allows for comparative evaluation between defferent or same age groups for a more objective body composition analysis.
Whole Body Phase Angle It provides Age-specific Whole Body Phase Angle graph to show average and standard deviation. Better the cellular integrity level, higher PhA you may have.
Muscle-Nutrition Evaluation It provides Age-specific Skeletal Muscle Index (kg/m2) graph to show average and standard deviation. The trend of decreasing SMI is seen from ages 20~80. This is due to nutritional deficiency, hormonal changes, and increasing fat mass resulting in a decrease in leg muscle mass.
Body Water Evaluation It provides Whole Body ECW Ratio (ECW/TBW) graph to show average and standard deviation. InBody considers value under 0.390 as “Normal”, value between 0.390 and 0.400 as “Slightly Over”, and more than 0.400 as “Over”
Body Cell Mass It provides Age-specific Body Cell Mass graph to show average and standard deviation. Body Cell Mass is the sum of Intracellular Water and Protein, and it refers to the total amount of the cells in muscular tissue and it can be used as a parameter for nutritional evaluation.
*InBody Big Data is used for the evaluation by age which is shown as T-score and Z-score.
It indicates the relative position of subject, and does not affect the subjects’ body composition analysis result.
