InBody Assesment

Pre-InBody Test Instructions for Patients

To ensure the most accurate and reliable results from your InBody assessment, please follow these guidelines:

What to Do Before the Test

Instruction	Rationale
🕗 Schedule the test at a consistent time (preferably morning)	Body water distribution changes throughout the day
🍽️ Be fasted for at least 2–3 hours	Eating or drinking can affect total body water and weight
🚽 Empty your bladder before testing	Retained urine increases body weight and skews water readings
🧘 Be well-rested and calm	Stress and poor sleep may influence water balance
🧴 Remove any lotions or oils from hands and feet	Ensures optimal electrode contact for accurate impedance

What to Avoid Before the Test

Avoid	Reason
❌ Do not exercise 6–12 hours before	Exercise alters body water and muscle glycogen levels
❌ Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours	These substances can dehydrate and skew fluid measurements
❌ Do not shower or bathe just before the test	Moisture or lotions affect conductivity
❌ Avoid wearing metal or jewellery	Can interfere with the bioelectrical current
❌ Do not test during menstruation (if possible)	Hormonal shifts cause water retention, reducing result accuracy

⚠️ Special Considerations

Pregnancy: The InBody is safe but results are not valid due to altered hydration.
Pacemakers or defibrillators: The InBody should not be used due to the electrical current.
Amputations or metal implants: May affect segmental accuracy.
Acute illness or fever: Postpone test until recovery.
