①
Intracellular Water (ℓ ) : The water inside each cell
②
Extracellular Water (ℓ ) : The water outside each cell
③
Protein Mass (kg)
The mass of protein. Protein is a major component of limb muscle, intestinal muscle, and
skin.
④
Mineral Mass (kg)
Mineral Mass cannot be obtained with BIA methodology, but InBody S10 offers the
estimated value of mineral mass because bone mineral mass is closely correlated with FFM.
The correctness of this estimated value has been validated by comparison with the DEXA
method. Thus, mineral mass could be used for screening the examinees who have risk
factors of osteoporosis.
⑤
Body Fat Mass (kg)
The sum of subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, and intramuscular fat.
⑥
Total Body Water (ℓ )
The total volume of water in the body. The sum of the intracellular and the extracellular
water.
It is shown as “ℓ” on the results sheet. However, mass measured in kilograms (kg) is the
basic unit of measure for body composition components. Therefore, the unit volume of water
should be converted to a mass unit. It is a common known fact that the volume of 1 liter (ℓ)
is equal to the mass of 1kg in water. This fact allows volume and mass to be
interchangeable i.e. used at the same time.
⑦
Soft Lean Mass (kg)
The ideal weight is calculated based on examinee’s height. A examinee’s soft lean mass can
be estimated using average weight and average percent body fat. Problems occur only
when the soft lean mass is less than the average, however, no difficulties are encountered
when soft lean mass is greater than average.
Fat Free Mass (kg) : The sum of soft
⑧
lean mass and the mineral mass.
