Bioimpedance test preparation instruction for the patient:
For the most accurate result, please observe the following pre-test guidelines:
◊ No alcohol consumption within 24 hours prior to taking the test.
◊ No exercise, caffeine or food with in 4 hour prior to taking the test.
◊ Drink 2 to 4 glasses of water 2 hours prior to taking the test.
The conductive medium of the body is water. Following the instructions above will reduce the influence of temporary dehydration on the test results. Please notify the technician if you think you may be pregnant, or if you have any implantable electronic devices like a pacemaker or defibrillator. |

Body composition analysis is the clinical assessment of tissue and fluid compartments in the human body.
◊ Fat Mass
◊ Fat-Free Mass
◊ Body Cell Mass (Intracellular Mass)
◊ Extracellular Mass
◊ Total Body Water
◊ Intracellular Water
◊ Extracellular Water
A normal distribution of tissue and fluid in the body is associated with immunity, high function, and longevity.
Body composition analysis is used in preventative, therapeutic, and research applications.
◊ Nutritional Assessment
◊ Anti-Aging Therapy
◊ Physical Performance Assessment
◊ Weight Management
◊ Obesity
◊ Fluid and Nutritional Assessment
◊ Geriatrics
◊ Lifestyle Assessment
◊ Athletic Performance
◊ Clinical Trials
◊ Research Initiatives
To perform body composition analysis, the mass and fluid compartments of the body are modeled, measurements are taken, and results are analyzed.
The Bioimpedance (BIA) body composition analyzers measure body composition electronically. |
