(13) Additional Data(6 items)
This section shows you commonly used data, related
to body composition.
Obesity degree(%)
Obesity Degree, measured in percentage, is a convenient way of assessing
the subject s degree of obesity but body composition is not considered.
Obesity degree is calculated using only a subject s weight.
obesity degree= (actual weight / standard weight) x 100
Body Cell Mass(kg)
Body Cell Mass (BCM) reflects all the metabolically active tissues of the body.
Decreasing BCM is an indicator for malnutrition. For the HIV patient, BCM is
very important to monitor the Wasting Syndrome. Only with body composition
analysis can this be monitored. It include the total mass of cells, which
compose muscular tissues.
Bone Mineral Content(kg)
Bone Mineral Content(BMC) is mineral mass in bone.
Basal Metabolic Rate (kcal)
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the minimal energy requirement for sustaining
vital functions at rest. With InBody720, BMR is estimated by a known regression
equation based on FFM. FFM is known to be closely related to BMR.
AC(Arm Circumference)
It is the circumference of upper arm measured in the middle of the elbow and
the shoulder.
AMC(Arm Muscle Circumference)
Arm Muscle Circumference is the muscle circumference of the arm inside the
subcutaneous fat. It is measured horizontally around the arm at the mid-point
of the between the acromion process and the olecranon process.
(14) Bioelectrical Impedance
It shows the impedance values from the measurements
at 6 frequencies (1, 5, 50, 250, 500, 1000kHz). For
further research purpose, from the left to the right, it
shows the values for the right arm, left arm, trunk, right
leg and left leg. These data indicate if the measurement
is successful or not. The data should decrease vertically.
Otherwise, the measurement is wrong or the unit is
defective.
