How Does the InBody 580 Body Fat Test Work?
The InBody 580 is a boy composition analysis scanner that precisely measures a range of wellness metrics in your body.
At Port Orchard Natural Medicine, we use this device to provide extensive body fat test services that cover various health indicators that go beyond body mass index (BMI) and other common metrics. As a matter of fact, the InBody 580 measures things like:
- Skeletal muscle mass
- Percentage of body fat including visceral fat analysis
- Body water distribution and many other signals that help measure your overall health
What truly makes the InBody 580 body composition analyzer so special is the fact that it’s among the first devices of its kind to include smart elements. Features like the QR scanner, ease of measurement, and dedicated electrode design help monitor segmental body metrics, thus allowing the best overall visibility in terms of your health.
Metrics Measures By the InBody 580
As a health and wellness provider, this type of body composition analysis allows us to create more effective protocols for every patient like yourself.
From body water balance to cellular integrity and muscle vs fat ratios, the InBody 580 allows for a higher level of data collection that ultimately results in a healthier you. The additional data allows us to deliver fully personalized training programs, dietary plans, and consultation schedules that inherently improve your results.
Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of determining your InBody 580 body composition.
Body Water Balance
Uneven body water distribution can be an early sign of potential imbalances and health conditions.
The good news is that the InBody 580 body fat machine can help monitor your segmental body water balance. In other words, it reveals how well water is distributed throughout specific organs and parts of your body as a whole.
Keep in mind that this professional health screening will reveal both wholesome and segmental water body analyses, so our health experts will have a full picture to assess your health off of. Our health experts can assess this information and figure out if you need further assessment or if it’s best to start a new protocol right away.
Cellular Integrity Check
While the InBody 580 is often referred to as a BMI machine, the truth is that this scanner is much more advanced and provides a wide range of signals that help assess your health. Among these signals is the Phase Angle reading, a measurement that helps assess the overall condition of the cells in your body.
In simple terms, the condition of the membranes surrounding the cells in your body is one of the indicators of how healthy these microscopic building blocks are. Healthy cells have strong membranes that allow electrons to go in and out based on what your body needs. However, when cells in a part of your body are not healthy, their membranes tend to lose this ability.
The InBody 580 cellular integrity check actually measures the condition of these membranes in your specific areas as well as your body as a whole, therefore revealing whether your wellness plan has to address this.
Assessment of Sarcopenia
Sarcopenia is a musculoskeletal disorder that affects older adults, causing them to lose muscular mass and strength in their extremities.
The tricky part is that this condition can often be asymptomatic, in other words it doesn’t produce noticeable health effects, until it’s too late. Fortunately, the InBody 580 body composition machine can also be used to perform sarcopenia assessments, giving us all the information we need to create a custom plant to address this health concern.
Body Composition Analysis
Unlike any unidimensional body fat percentage machine, the InBody 580 details your body composition and actually gives you a score out of 100 based on your current state. In this report, we can see values such as the amount of water in your body, as well as your mineral, protein, and fat contents among many other metrics.
The scan will also reveal your body composition history, which details the changes in your body from month to month.
Benefits of the InBody 580 Test
The InBody 580 Body Composition Analyzer is a cutting-edge piece of equipment that can be used to assess the current state of your body. Like most modern pieces of medical equipment, this device brings a wide range of features for patients including:
A Quick and Comfortable Process
This InBody test consists of a quick and painless process that takes about 30 seconds. Although short and sweet, the InBody 580 device is the best way to measure body fat percentage because it delivers fast results that are accurate, so you can immediately discuss the results with your health professional.
Accurate Measurements
The handheld ergonomic electrode allows our practitioners to scan traditionally difficult to reach areas. Plus, the advanced and robust software ensures that there are no errors in the reading, so the results obtained from the InBody 580 are extremely accurate.
Smart Recognition
One of the best features of the InBody 580 scanner is its smart recognition QR code.
This enables our therapists to enter your information quickly, efficiently, and without a chance for error, enhancing efficiency and improving the accuracy of every single report.
What You Need to Know Before the Body Analysis
Here are some indicators you should follow before your InBody 580 body scan.
- Stay hydrated and drink enough water
- Avoid eating for 4 hours before the scan
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours
- Don’t use a sauna or shower just before the test
- Avoid exercising 12 hours before the scan
