Body Composition Analysis & Body Water<\/h4>

Body Composition Analysis<\/h6>

This section gives you a solid breakdown of your overall body composition, displaying these vital measurements in pounds (lb) or kilograms (kg):<\/p>

\u2022 Total Body Water (divided into Intracellular and Extracellular Water)
\u2022 Fat Free Mass
\u2022 Dry Lean Mass
\u2022 Body Fat Mass
\u2022 Weight<\/p>

Let’s take a closer look at how to interpret this section and use it to determine if you’ve gained muscle or spot fluid imbalances.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Intracellular and Extracellular Water<\/h6>

At the top, you have Intracellular Water (body water inside cells) and Extracellular Water (body water outside cells), which make up Total Body Water.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

WHY THIS MATTERS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Both ICW and ECW are valuable in their own right, but monitoring Extracellular Water, in particular, can provide deep insights. If you notice an increase in ECW, but not ICW, this could be due to acute inflammation from overtraining.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dry Lean Mass<\/h6>

This value is the weight of the protein and mineral content in your body.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

WHY THIS MATTERS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Because protein makes up most of your muscle, and Dry Lean Mass excludes body water, if your Dry Lean Mass increases, then this is generally a sign that you have gained muscle mass!<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Body Fat Mass<\/h6>

Below Dry Lean Mass is Body Fat Mass. This value reveals how much body fat, both surface level (subcutaneous) and internal (visceral), makes up your weight. Displayed in the second column from the right, Fat Free Mass (FFM) is the sum of your ICW, ECW, and Dry Lean Mass. FFM is the weight of everything in your body except fat; for this reason, it is also called Fat-Free Mass. Fat Free Mass includes muscle, water, bones, and organs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

WHY THIS MATTERS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Usually, increases in FFM reflect an increase in muscle mass (which you can also see as an increase in Dry Lean Mass) and is considered an improvement in body composition. However, people who do not maintain normal body water ratios may have increased FFM due to swelling caused by strenuous exercise or activity.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

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. 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

WHY THIS MATTERS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

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 FFM. High FFM and a high ECW\/TBW ratio usually indicate excess body water\u2014not just muscle.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Muscle-Fat Analysis<\/h6>

This section shows how your Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, and Body Fat Mass compare to the healthy average range of people of the same height and sex. With Muscle-Fat Analysis, you get a better understanding of where your current body composition is so you can make any changes to get it to where you would like it to be.<\/p>

Muscle-Fat Analysis is a favorite output for many people because it provides an easy-to-understand overview of body composition and helps narrow the focus of health goals.<\/p>
