ECW\/TBW Analysis<\/h6>

ECW\/TBW is a measure of compartmental fluid distribution and shows, as a ratio, how much of your total body water is extracellular.<\/p>

Taking multiple InBody Tests will establish your normal fluid status and help determine any imbalances. As a general guide, check to see that your ECW\/TBW is below 0.390.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This graph lets you quickly understand if you have occasional inflammation or swelling in your body resulting from strenuous exercise or activity. You can also use this to give context to LBM.

This graph displays the ECW ratio in each of the body\u2019s five segments. Caregivers can use this data to more precisely identify the location of fluid retention and fluid imbalances in each segment.
\u200b
It is also important to note that since\u00a0Extracellular Water is a part of Fat-Free Mass<\/strong>, an elevation of ECW\/TBW can increase Fat-Free Mass in that segment. Because of this, any imbalances in the Segmental Lean Analysis should be evaluated for a\u00a0difference in segmental ECW\/TBW<\/strong>\u00a0to determine if the\u00a0cause of the imbalance is due to fluid retention rather than muscular imbalance.\u200b<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Body Composition History<\/h4>\n

This graph displays some of the most vital measurements from your previous tests (up to 8). With Body Composition History, you can easily spot trends and track your progress over time.<\/p>\n

At the bottom of the Result Sheet is the Body Composition History graph, which automatically tracks your Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, Percent Body Fat, and ECW\/TBW measures from recent tests.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this graph is to let you monitor positive and negative changes in body composition so you can adjust your diet and exercise plan to get the results you desire.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s examine how to track positive and negative body composition changes by looking at the example above. These results represent an athletic, D-shaped individual whose goal was to gain muscle and lose body fat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Tracking positive change<\/h4>

The Body Composition History graph makes it easy to spot when positive body composition changes occur. For instance, a gradual increase in Skeletal Muscle Mass and decrease in Body Fat Mass over the past few tests indicates that you\u2019ve made excellent progress towards improving your overall body composition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Body Composition History graph also makes it easier to spot negative body composition changes. For example, a drop in body weight may initially appear like a positive change, but regular testing may show that this trend was due to muscle loss, not fat loss.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
