Body scans on the InBody 770 with a blood pressure check take between 3 to 5 minutes.   Interpretation of the results may take up to 20 minutes for an initial consultation.

 1.  Wear light clothing such as a t-shirt and shorts if possible, but make sure it's consistent from one body scan to the next.

2.  Try not to eat a large meal before testing, preferably do your InBody scan on an empty stomach.

3.  Avoid exercise immediately before body scans, the added heat in your body may cause a temporary change in conductivity. 

4.  Where possible remove large pieces of metal jewellery such as watches, necklaces or bracelets.

5.  Have subsequent body scans done at the same time of day.

6.  Keep your body sufficiently hydrated.

People with artificial electrical implants such as a defibrillator or pacemaker should not be tested on InBody scanners

We also do not recommend pregnant women get tested.

Frequency of measurement is fully dependent on each individual or program. We generally recommend InBody scans every 8-12 weeks.

Yes, the electrical current used in the body scans is extremely low, cannot be felt and is not harmful to the body. However, this excludes those fitted with pacemakers or internal defibrillators.

No, only shoes and socks need to be removed.

Breast implants will be calculated as body fat.  This, however, will remain constant between body scans so you will still get consistent results. 

Your score is based on your overall body composition.  Increasing muscle mass and normalisation of body fat mass will increase your score.  Scores over 100 are possible in muscular individuals.

A score in the 80's generally indicates a normal body composition with adequate muscle and usually no body fat extremes.

Individuals with InBody scan scores over 90 usually have well developed muscles and healthy levels of body fat.
