E. Can the jewelry or other metallic wear affect the testing?
The ideal test methodology is where the examinee doesn’t wear anything metallic. As the weight of clothes and other wear
affects the results of body composition analysis, it is strongly recommended to take off any heavy clothing or metallic wear.
Except for the weight, jewelry doesn’t exact any effects on the body composition analysis, as the contact points with
InBody720 are hands and feet that are usually free of jewelry.
F. How often do I have to get body composition test?
Examinees who are undergoing treatments that may affect the body composition (e.g. exercise, obesity, rehabilitation,
hormone treatment) are strongly recommended to have the body composition analysis done every two to four weeks.
