Guide to the InBody result sheet

Find the value. Understand what it really means.

Clear and technically accurate explanations of muscle, fat, water, segments, phase angle and the other values on an InBody report.

You can search by name, abbreviation or the label printed on your result sheet.

By part of the result sheet

Start where you see the value

Individual segments and technical variants share one explanation, so you will not get lost in them.

Body composition

The four basic components the body is made of: water, protein, minerals and fat. Most other values on the result sheet are derived from them.

12 values →

Muscle and fat

The balance between muscle mass and fat, BMI, body fat percentage and the summary score. These values are related and should not be read in isolation.

7 values →

Body water

Total body water and how it splits between the inside and the outside of cells. Water is the component most affected by measurement conditions.

5 values →

Segmental analysis

How muscle, fat and water are distributed across arms, trunk and legs. Sides are always given from the perspective of the person measured.

2 values →

Phase angle

An electrical property derived directly from the measurement. It is not a health grade but an indicator worth following over time.

2 values →

Visceral fat and metabolism

Fat in the abdominal cavity, body circumferences and resting energy expenditure. These are the values most often confused with total body fat.

13 values →

Weight control

Suggested adjustments to weight, fat and muscle. These are calculated from reference values, not a personal plan.

2 values →

Bioimpedance

The raw electrical data the device derives everything else from. An explanation of how the measurement works and where its limits are.

1 value →

Grip strength

Functional strength measured with the InBody InGrip hand dynamometer. The one value that says what the muscles can do, not how much of them there is.

1 value →

Blood pressure and pulse

Values from the InBody BPBIO750 monitor: systolic and diastolic pressure, pulse rate and the indices the device derives from them.

3 values →

Context first

One number is not a verdict.

The guide teaches you to read the value, the reference context and the trend separately, and only then together.

What the number representsThe unit, how it is derived, and the difference between measurement, estimate and reference.

What to compare it withRelated values, the recommended range and a comparable previous measurement.

What to take awayA practical next step and the honest limits of interpretation.

Reading methodology

How to read change between measurements

When a difference between two results is a real change and when it is just noise: a checklist of comparable conditions, the inertia of each value and a sensible re-measurement interval.

Commonly confused

Two values people mix up most often

The question "what is the actual difference between X and Y" gets its own page: a short answer, a side-by-side table and the situations where the two values part ways.

BMI vs. percent body fatBMI is a ratio of weight to height that says nothing about body composition, while percent body fat tells you how much of that weight is actually fat.

SMM vs. soft lean mass vs. fat free massThe result sheet shows three "muscle" numbers side by side — skeletal muscle, lean mass without bone minerals, and everything except fat — and each of them covers a different slice of the same body.

Visceral vs. subcutaneous fatPercent body fat tells you how much fat you carry in total, while visceral fat area and level describe the part of it stored in the abdominal cavity around your organs.

ECW/TBW ratio vs. total body waterTotal body water tells you how many litres of water you carry, while the ECW/TBW ratio describes how that water is split between the inside of your cells and the space around them.

Basal metabolic rate vs. recommended calorie intakeBasal metabolic rate is the energy your body uses at complete rest, while recommended calorie intake is an estimate of how much energy to take in over a day including ordinary activity.

Waist circumference vs. waist-hip ratio vs. waist-height ratioAll three indicators describe abdominal fat storage, but they differ in what they compare the waist against: nothing, the hips, or your height.

Target weight vs. "ideal" weight from BMITarget weight on the result sheet comes from balanced body composition, while "ideal" weight is nothing more than an ideal BMI converted to your height.
