(4) Body Composition Analysis
Bar graphs and values are displayed here. The length of the bar graph is the relative percentage based on the standard
amount (100%). The values at the end of each bar are the measured values. Especially, because body fat is more various
among people than muscle mass, each bar has different scale. The value next to bar shows you the measured values and
the end of bar indicates your position in the range. If the length of the bars would be similar, your body composition is well
balanced, while if the lengths of the bars fluctuate, it means your body composition is not balanced.
①
Weight (kg)
Generally, BMI 18.5~25 is used for determining normal range of weight. But in InBody 720, normal range for Weight is
standard weight
±
15% of standard value, and the range is very similar to the one based on BMI (18.5~25). Standard
weight is determined according to BMI 22 for males, BMI 21 for asian females, BMI 21.5 for western females, and growth
chart for the age under 18.
②
Skeletal Muscle Mass (kg)
Skeletal muscle mass is computed based on muscle mass of the limbs, which is almost composed of skeletal muscle and
takes up about 70% of total body skeletal muscle.
③
Body Fat Mass (kg)
100% of the body fat mass means the subject is in the ideal weight and the normal percent body fat. Compared with
muscle mass, body fat mass is various among people. The horizontal bar graph helps you understand your body
composition state compared to standard values. Especially, because body fat is more various among people than muscle
mass, those two bars have different scale.
