Yes. The InBody 270, 370, 570 and 770 are non-prescriptive, over-the-counter medical-grade devices and can be purchased by any individual or organization.
All InBody models accurately measure weight and body composition. Other outputs and technical specifications differ by model. These differences are highlighted on the main product page.
Weight and body water changes can occur with the introduction of meals and fluids, or with a change in environment. Circulation of body water may also cause changes in water distribution throughout the day. It is recommended that repeat tests be performed under the same testing conditions, in the same environment, and at the same time of day as the initial test.
The volume of a cylinder, in this case the body, changes when the height of the cylinder changes. BIA devices consider the body as a cylinder and the volume of body water is calculated with the height and impedance of the body.
The frequency of measurement is fully dependent on each facility and program. InBody recommends testing every 2-4 weeks.
Other methods of measuring body composition include DEXA, hydrostatic weighing, air displacement, and anthropometric calipers.
Historically, BIA technology, devices, and results have been met with some degree of skepticism. However, InBody technology addresses these concerns with its technological features and provides great precision and accuracy for total body and regional measurements.
