Bioimpedance analysis
(precise analysis
of body composition)

What the Assessment Shows

After the assessment, the physician receives a comprehensive body composition analysis that provides far more information than body weight alone. It evaluates the proportion of body fat, muscle mass, bone mass, hydration status, metabolic characteristics, and other important indicators that help assess your overall health.

✔ Body Weight – the total body weight, evaluated together with other body composition parameters rather than as an isolated value.

✔ Body Fat Mass and Body Fat Percentage – shows the amount of body fat and whether it falls within the recommended range for your age and sex.

✔ Muscle Mass – reflects the amount of skeletal muscle and helps evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition and physical activity.

✔ Visceral Fat – fat stored around the internal organs. Excess visceral fat is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders.

✔ Total Body Water – helps assess hydration status and overall fluid balance.

✔ Intracellular and Extracellular Water – the ratio between these values allows the physician to evaluate cellular health, fluid retention, and hidden edema.

✔ Bone Mass – estimates the mineral content of bone tissue and is used as part of a comprehensive body composition assessment.

✔ Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) – indicates how many calories your body burns at rest to maintain essential physiological functions. This value helps determine your daily caloric requirements.

✔ Body Mass Index (BMI) – one of the basic indicators of body weight, interpreted together with body fat and muscle mass measurements.

✔ Metabolic Age – an estimated indicator showing how your metabolism compares with the average values for a specific age group.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

No single measurement provides a complete picture of your health. Only a comprehensive analysis of all parameters allows the physician to assess your body's condition, identify hidden health risks, and provide personalized recommendations regarding nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle.

Bioelectrical impedance analysis is particularly valuable when performed repeatedly. Comparing results over time allows your physician to monitor changes in body fat and muscle mass, evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition, exercise, or treatment programs, and adjust recommendations when necessary. For this reason, follow-up assessments may be recommended at regular intervals.

How the Assessment Is Performed

1. The physician enters your basic anthropometric data.

2. The patient stands on the analyzer and holds the hand electrodes.

3. A safe, low-level electrical current passes through the body.

4. Within 1–2 minutes, a detailed report is generated.

5. The physician explains the results and provides personalized recommendations.

How to Prepare for the Assessment

Before the procedure, please:

• avoid eating for 2–3 hours;

• avoid physical exercise;

• avoid alcohol consumption;

• empty your bladder;

• if monitoring progress over time, undergo the assessment at approximately the same time of day.

Contraindications

Bioelectrical impedance analysis should not be performed in patients who:

✔ have a cardiac pacemaker;

✔ have an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD);

✔ are pregnant.

Why Choose Grace Clinic for Your Assessment?

✔ Your results are interpreted by an experienced physician—not simply presented as numerical data.

✔ We evaluate your overall health rather than focusing on individual measurements.

✔ The assessment can be performed as a standalone service or as part of our comprehensive Check-up programs.

✔ Ongoing monitoring allows physicians to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment, nutrition, and exercise over time.

✔ A comprehensive approach combines body composition analysis with laboratory testing and physician consultation for a complete understanding of your health.

Important: Bioelectrical impedance analysis does not establish a medical diagnosis. It is a modern body composition assessment tool that provides physicians with valuable clinical information, supporting more accurate evaluation and well-informed medical decision-making.
