InBody 570 body composition analysis in Salinas
Understand more than your weight. The InBody 570 provides a quick, noninvasive assessment of body composition using bioelectrical impedance. It estimates muscle, fat, and body water to help us follow changes over time and personalize your care beyond the number on the scale.
What your report can show
Standing on the device for about a minute, fully clothed, you hold the hand electrodes while a gentle, imperceptible electrical signal passes through the body. The report can show:
How we use the information
For weight-management patients, body composition trends can help guide discussions about nutrition, protein intake, strength training, and treatment adjustments. Losing muscle is the most common hidden cost of weight loss, and following these numbers over time is how we notice it early. A single reading does not tell the whole story. We interpret results alongside your health history and other measures of progress.
Understanding the estimates
InBody results are estimates influenced by hydration, recent food intake, exercise, and other factors. The metabolic-rate estimate is not a direct measurement of calories burned, and a visceral-fat estimate is not an imaging study. Consistent testing conditions make comparisons more useful, which is why we ask you to prepare the same way each time.
Preparing for your visit
Follow the InBody preparation guide before your test. In short:
Tell the team about any implanted electronic device, pregnancy, metal hardware, or cosmetic implants before testing. As a clinic policy, we do not test during pregnancy or with an implanted electronic device such as a pacemaker. Metal hardware and cosmetic implants do not usually prevent testing, but they can affect how we interpret the numbers.
Read your results
Your provider walks you through the report at each visit. Between visits, explore InBody's official guide to the InBody 570 adult result sheet, and bring any questions to your next appointment so we can connect the numbers with your care plan.
InBody questions, answered plainly
What the numbers mean, and what they don't.
How long does the test take?
About a minute on the device, plus a few minutes to review the report with your provider. You stay fully clothed; shoes and socks come off.
How accurate is it?
The InBody 570 gives estimates, not direct measurements. Hydration, recent meals, exercise, and the time of day all shift the numbers, so a single reading is a starting point. Preparing the same way each time makes your trend far more useful than any one result.
Does it diagnose anything?
No. It does not diagnose osteoporosis, measure hormones, or directly measure how many calories you burn. It is one tool we interpret alongside your history, examination, and labs when they are needed.
Who should not be tested?
We do not test during pregnancy or with an implanted electronic device such as a pacemaker. Tell us about metal hardware or cosmetic implants; they do not usually prevent testing, but they can affect interpretation.
