Then, hold the hand electrodes and take posture to take the InBody test.

IV. InBody Test

A. Precautionary Steps

(1) Do not eat immediately before testing on an InBody
The food inside the stomach can influence the weight and be seen as body mass, causing

errors in the measurement.

(2) Test in the morning, if possible.

(3) Test after going to the bathroom.

(4) Test prior to working out.

(5) Test prior to taking a shower, bath or using a sauna.

(6) Stand for about 5 minutes prior to testing.

B. Test Posture

Arms and legs aren’t Arms are too high Arms are too low Arms are extended
touching each other

Arms are bent

Do not let your arms touch your stomach and make sure your arms are extended from your body and wear
light clothes with sleeves.
Hold the hand electrodes

dial.

If a user’s palms and/or soles are dry or callused, you may have difficulty

D. Understanding Test Items

Body fat mass and muscle mass change with diet and exercise. • Weight : Total body mass
Weight is the total mass of the human body.

• Percent Body Fat: The total mass of fat divided by total body mass A person’s body fat

percentage is the total weight of the person’s fat divided by the person’s weight and consists of

essential body fat and storage body fat. Although the weight is same, the percentages of fat or
muscle mass can be different. Therefore, the body fat percentage is an essential item for
diagnosing obesity.

The standard range is 10-20% for men and 18-28% for women. The standard body fat
percentage differs for children under 18 depending on their gender and height.

• Muscle Mass: Skeletal Muscle Mass

Skeletal muscle represents the majority of muscle tissue; it is the type of muscle that powers
movement of the skeleton. It is categorized as striated muscle because when viewed under a
light microscope, alternating stripes of light and dark bands can be seen. There are three muscle
types, cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is innervated by the somatic
nervous system and subject to voluntary control. Skeletal muscle is attached to the bone and its
main function if for movement of the body. This is the muscle that is influenced the most by
physical activity.

• Visceral fat : Fat surrounding the major organs

Fat around organs is shown in levels between 1 and 20. People with visceral fat levels above 10
are considered unhealthy and are at higher risk for diseases like heart disease, cancer and sleep
apnea.

B. Solving Simple Problems

If the problem still persists, please contact us at 323-932-6503 or [e-mail] if you are in

need of assistance.

Q 1. Power is not ON after pressing the dial.

A 1. This can happen when the batteries are dead. Replace the batteries
A 2. This can happen when the batteries are not inserted correctly. Remove the batteries and make sure the
electrodes are in the correct spots.

Q 2. Weight is not measured and the square keeps rotating.

A 1. Press the footplate to turn InBody power ON. If 0.0 appears on the LCD screen after a display of the

rotating square for 2~3 seconds, step on the footplate and measure the weight.

A 2. Check if there is a person or an object on InBody, or the 4 supporters behind(floor) InBody are pressed

by foreign objects.

Q 3. Weight is strange.

A 1. Press the footplate to turn the InBody power ON. Then check if 0.0 appears on the LCD screen after

2-3 seconds.

A2. The weight can be inaccurate if you use the device on carpet or a mattress. Be sure to put InBody on

solid floor.

VI. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If your question is not listed here, please contact us at 323-932-6503 or [e-mail] if you

are in need of assistance.

Q 1. How accurate is the outcome value?

A. This InBody product has a 93% correlation with DEXA.

Q 2. The InBody Test results vary. Why is there a difference in outcomes?

A. If you are standing with incorrect posture, outcomes will vary. Make sure client’s hands and, feet are

touching and holding electrodes properly. Maintain this posture until the Test is complete.

If you have dry hands and/or feet, clean them with an InBody Tissue or antibiotic wet tissue before

testing.

InBody recommends testing at the same time, under the same conditions for best accuracy.

Q 3. What is the normal range of visceral fat level?

A. Visceral fat level is InBody’s method of level display which leveled cross section of visceral fat from 1

to 20. For adults, it is normal if visceral fat level is below 10. The lower the visceral fat level the better.

Q 4. What is the standard range of body fat percentage?

A.

Gender

Below Normal

Normal

Overweight

Man

below 10%

10-20%

over 20%

Woman

below 18%

18-28%

over 28%

(Adults over 18)

Q 5. What is the standard for InBody ranking?

A. InBody ranking is the scoring of the difference of body fat and muscle mass of my body. You have to

obtain ideal body fat and ideal muscle mass for ideal BMI for InBody ranking. If you have a lot of body
fat basically, the ranking drops, and if you have lots of muscle mass, the ranking rises. InBody ranking
is not an absolute rank of body but a standard of InBody for diet motivation for your reference.

Q 6. What if the user doesn’t know his or her height?

A. Height is important for obtaining accurate InBody Test results. Measure the user on a stadiometer like

the InBody BSM-170 for best results.

Q 7. What if the user’s thighs or armpits touch. Would that effect the test results?

A. Yes. If a user’s thighs or armpits touch, have them wear a light short sleeve shirt and shorts to obtain

more accurate outcomes.

Q 8. How do you make the results stay on the screen longer?

A. InBody Test results are shown on the LCD screen for 100 seconds. If you want to see it for a longer

period of time, turn the dial.
