Introducing the InBody370
Body Composition consists of 4 major components: Water, Protein, Minerals and Fat.
These four elements are the fundamental ingredients the body is comprised of, and it is
important for them to be in balance. Body composition analysis is expected to quantify and
In the past, diagnosing obesity was focused on how we looked outside, without considering
the balance among body water, protein, body fat and minerals. From the health point of
view, body composition analysis that takes into account the balance between body water,
protein, body fat and mineral makes more sense than diagnosing obesity based on how we
look. In addition, this is where the body composition analyzer with high precision comes in.
Since 1996, InBody has developed its resources and technology and has been recognized
worldwide for its efforts. InBody has upgraded its InBody system and has developed
InBody370.
With touch screen feature, InBody370 is more convenient to use. It displays past
measurement results as well as accumulative graphs that show the changes in the results.
Also, The InBody370 yields accurate results unique to the individual, regardless of
empirical estimations and reliably evaluates the effectiveness of diet control and exercise
prescription.
InBody is committed to providing advanced equipment to promote good health and a long
life.

1. Cautions before Measurement
To observe changes of the human body through body composition analysis, it is crucial to
perform the analysis each time under the same conditions, temperature, posture, etc. Bear
in mind, the following factors affect the results of body composition analysis, and as a result,
(1) Make sure not to use this equipment with those that have medical electrical devices,
such as a pacemaker.
(3) Do not exercise or perform any physical activities before testing. If a examinee has
already been physically active, a temporary change in body composition will result.
(5) Perform the measurement after urination or excretion, if possible. Residues inside the
human body are interpreted as fat mass. Waste in the body means the analysis will be less
accurate.
(7) Perform the measurement under normal temperature conditions 20~25°C (68~77 °F). If
the ambient temperature is too high or too low, the human body responds, resulting in

electrodes and hold the palm electrodes with the rest of your hands.
Do not press the electrodes with the fingernails; fingernails may damage the electrodes and
cause inaccurate results.
(2) Make sure to place the heel on the circular (rear sole) electrode.
(3) Then, place the sole on the elliptical (front sole) electrode surface.
27
Be careful not to spill water on the electrodes. Excessive water may cause corrosion or
other problems.
Do not allow pants to disturb contact between the heels and the electrodes.
If the foot is exceptionally small, place it between the electrodes, ensuring that it makes
contacts with both sets of electrodes.
Measurements may not be possible due to hardened skin on the palm or sole. In this case,
wipe the palm and sole with a wet tissue before measuring.
C. Body Posture
The proper body posture is a normal standing position with the arms and legs extended.
For accurate results, please take off heavy clothes and accessories.
(1) Avoid direct contact between the arms and the body at the armpit
When the examinee cannot maintain proper posture during the analysis, an assistant may
be required to ensure proper posture. The assistant or technician must take care not to
inadvertently make skin contact with the examinee. The InBody370 cannot be performed if
an examinee is missing a hand, a thumb or a foot.
28
6. How to Operate the Equipment
The following procedure is based on the initial setting of the InBody370. If a examinee steps
down from the InBody370 during measurement, the procedure will be automatically
cancelled.
(1) Confirm the InBody370 is ready for measurement. If it is ready, the following screen is
displayed.
(2) Remove heavy clothes and accessories before stepping on the InBody370.
(3) Stand on the foot plate of the InBody370. Be sure to match the examinee’s heels with
the rear sole electrodes and examinee’s soles with the front sole electrodes. Bare feet must
be in contact the electrodes. When an examinee steps onto the InBody370, individual’s
weight is displayed on the information screen. While the device is measuring weight, stand
at attention and do not move until the measured value on the screen settles at the
examinee’s correct weight. If the examinee wants to be re-measured, the examinee has to
step down from the foot plate of the equipment and step up on the foot plate again.
29
(4) After weight measurement, weight value is displayed on the screen. Input I.D., height,
age, and gender using buttons on Touch LCD. Then entered values will be added on the
personal information screen. After, check the entered data, then press ENTER.
(5) Confirm his or her personal information in a final manner. If there is any information
which needs to be revised, revise it by pressing the corresponding ‘EDIT’ button. In case of
gender, press the ‘EDIT’ button and then the sex is changed to male or female. After the
revision is made, press the ‘ACCEPT’ button on the foot plate and then measurement will
get underway.
In case of inputting I.D. saved in the DB at the stage of I.D. inputting, you can move to
personal information confirmation screen immediately. At that moment, if your I.D. is right,
press the ‘ACCEPT’ button and if not, then press the ‘EDIT’ button and input a new I.D.. If
the screen is converted right to personal information confirmation by inputting the existing
I.D., the gender can not be revised.
30
When you input personal information and move to personal confirmation screen, you are
sometimes likely to input the I.D. already saved. At that moment, the existing I.D. does not
match the personal information currently
inputted, the following error messages will be
displayed and the corresponding I.D. can not
be inputted, then input a new I.D..
(6) An examinee must assume the proper posture. The InBody370 checks the posture
continuously. Once measurement is started, the examinee should maintain correct posture
until completed.
If hand electrode is let go of or the posture is not correct during measurement, error
messages will be displayed.
31
(7) During measurements, the InBody370 displays the results of the examinee’s body
composition analysis.
(8) When the measurement is finished, the completion message appears on the information
from the foot plate, the screen will return to the home screen.
In case of measurement without inputting I.D., the ‘HISTORY’ button will not be generated.

The measured values of the examinee’s body composition are displayed here. The body
composition analysis of the InBody370 is derived from the 4-compartment model, which
divides body composition into 4 components. These 4 compartments have a settled ratio in
a healthy body.
37
① Total Body Water ( ℓ)
The total volume of water in the body.
It is shown as ℓ”“ on the results sheet. However, mass measured in kilograms (kg) is the
basic unit of measure for body composition components. Therefore, the unit volume of water
should be converted to a mass unit. It is a common known fact that the volume of 1 liter (ℓ)
is equal to the mass of 1kg in water. This fact allows volume and mass to be
The mass of protein. Protein is a major component of limb muscle, intestinal muscle, and
skin.
The sum of osseous mineral in the bone and non-osseous mineral in body fluid.
The mass of Fat Free Mass except osseous mineral in the bone.
⑦ Weight (kg)
38
(4) Muscle-Fat Analysis
Bar graphs and values for Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass and Body Fat Mass are displayed
here. The length of bar graph shows a percentage relative to the standard value (100%) and
the value at the end of each bar is the measured value. The standard value (100%) is based
on the standard weight of the examinee. When a examinee is on a diet or exercising for
weight control, body fat mass and skeletal muscle mass get affected among the body
compartments. Therefore, you can keep monitoring the changes of body fat mass and
skeletal muscle mass performing a weight control program. Also, you can see the body
composition goes along your expect.
ⓛ Weight (kg)
Ideal weight is based on examinee’s height. Using the classical BMI method, the InBody
2 2
370 identifies the standard BMI as 22kg/m for males, 21.5kg/m for western females and
2
21kg/m for Asian females.
Male Female
2 2
Ideal Weight = Height (㎡) × 22 Ideal Weight = Height (㎡) × 21 (Asian)
2
Ideal Weight = Height (㎡) × 21.5 (western)
The standard range of weight is 85~115% based on the standard range of BMI.
39
② Skeletal Muscle Mass (kg)
Distinctively, skeletal muscle mass, which generally indicates the lean body mass of each
arm and leg, can be controlled by exercise and dietary habits. Compare the bar graphs’
lengths of skeletal muscle mass with body fat mass. If the bar of skeletal muscle mass is
relatively shorter and under the standard value, lean body mass lacks in the body, while the
opposite case is proper. 100% signifies ideal lean body mass when examinee’s weight is
normal. The standard range is 90~110% of standard skeletal muscle mass based on
standard weight.
100% signifies ideal body fat mass when examinee has standard weight and standard
percent body fat. The standard range is 80~160% of ideal percent body fat.
*The standard range varies for the each item because the variation rates of muscle and fat are not
same in normal condition.
This enables examinee’s to check BMI, the classical method for obesity diagnosis,
percentage of body fat and waist-hip ratio all at once. Bar graphs and numeric values are
provided for each item and both of the length of bar graph and the number represent the

Basal Metabolic Rate is the minimal energy required to maintain life and homeostasis i.e.
energy for breathing, heart activity, body temperature regulation and so on. The InBody370
calculates BMR as referring to Fat Free Mass (FFM) mentioned in the reference below.

prediction equation. Am J Clin Nutr. Vol.54, 963-969, 1991.
*In general, Harris-Benedict Equation is used for BMR. This equation concerns gender, age, height
and weight. However, calculating BMR with Fat Free Mass, which is the most active mass in a body,
brings out more analogous results closed to the directly measured BMR. Also, respiratory gas analyzer
can compute relatively accurate BMR.

This part provides qualitative values of the body composition. Alongside the measured
values of each body composition, there is nutrition evaluation from the measured values to
help children understand. It would be good to explain what roles proteins, minerals, fattiness
play in our body and what problems might occur when these are lacking or too abundant.
47
① Body W ater (kg)
It covers the largest portion among body composition accounting for about 50~70% of body
weight. It is distributed in the cells and body fluids. If we look into our body from composition
point of view, it is like a systemized sea water bag. Body water is mostly distributed at the
cells which compose the muscle tissue and over 70% of water fills healthy person’s muscle
② Protein (kg)
Protein is a complex of organic compounds with nitrogen and it indicates the total amount of
solid components. Protein has very close relationship with intracellular fluid and the lack of
protein means the nutritional imbalance. However this does not mean the protein in food. If
there is a severe shortage in protein mass, it can bring symptoms such as loss of nails and
toenails, amenorrhea, hair discoloring, muscle atrophy, fatty liver, edema, etc.. Human body
consumes body composing proteins when there is shortage in energy provision in body.
This is an undesirable energy generation process and if excessive rates of such process
continue for a long time of period, it could burden liver, kidney and others. For growing
parts of our body are developed especially skeletal structure and muscle mass. Therefore, it
is necessary to have sufficient amount of protein during a growth period since major
③ Mineral (kg)
During a growth period when there is a dramatic growth in bones, it is necessary to have
good mineral to ensure the smooth development of a skeleton structure.
48
④ Body Fat (kg)
Fat free mass is the sum of body water, protein and mineral. Thus, InBody uses the
following formula to get the amount of body fat.
The sum of body water, protein, mineral, and body fat, which explained so far constitutes the
weight.
This part shows the measured values of weight, skeletal muscle mass, and body fat mass,
and their relative comparison in figures and in graphs. The figures next to the bar graphs
indicate the measured values of each composition. The graphs consist of 10 steps, from 1
to 10, and the 4th and 5th step is the normal range. Where the face mark is stamped is
where the examinee belongs to. You’ll get the smile face stamp if the status of each

indicates the ideal amount of muscle that one should have when the examinee has an ideal

It covers the largest portion among body composition accounting for about 50~70% of body
weight. It is distributed in the cells and body fluids. If we look into our body from composition
point of view, it is like a systemized sea water bag. Body water is mostly distributed at the
cells which compose the muscle tissue and over 70% of water fills healthy person’s muscle

② Am I well balanced?
This part is to check a examinee’s developmental status through a percentile graph that
enlarges a growth curve according to his/her age and gender. Percentile is a score that
shows one’s relative position in the distribution of the group to which he/she belongs. The
50th percentile (50%) indicates a mean value, and if it is closer to the 50th percentile, it
means one’s growth is at a rate close to the middle. However, there is no need for worry if
one falls between the 10th percentile (10%) and the 90th percentile (90%), rather than the
50th percentile. But if one is lower than the 10th percentile (10%) or higher than the 90th

composition. The standard range stretches from above 90% and below 110%. Above 110%
and below 130% is ‘over weight’ and above 130% indicates ‘extremely over.’
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is a value obtained by substituting the fat free mass of current
examinee to a formula. The standard range stretches from above 90% and below 110%.
Less than 90% indicates below standard and more than 110% is regarded as above the
standard BMR. Ideal BMR is a value obtained by substituting the ideal fat free mass of a
examinee to a formula.

2. Troubleshooting
This section lists the order of steps you should take in case of malfunction, with the
assumption that you have some basic knowledge about how to operate the equipment. If
you still have the problem after taking the following steps, contact InBody.
A. The equipment does not seem to run, even after the power is on.
(In a normal situation, a signal sounds and the LCD is turned on.)
Cause 1 The plug is not pushed all the way into the electrical outlet.
Action 1 Push the plug all the way into the electrical outlet.
Cause 2 Extension is not turned on (when using a surge protector) or the power does not
flow into extension.
Action 2 Check if the power flows into the extension and the electrical outlet where the
extension is connected.
Action 4 Insert the adapter into the power input port tightly.
B. The measured weight value seems very low, or shows a negative value.
(Normally the measured weight is not very different from what the examinee believes his or
her actual weight to be.)
Cause 1 The weight sensor (loadcell) calibration was performed wrong during the self-
calibration.
Action 1 Turn off the power of the InBody370, then turn it on again. Allow the unit to
67
perform the self-calibration process again with no weight on the foot plate. The
loadcell will be set to 0 lbs during self-calibration. Keep in mind, even a small
amount of weight affects the calibration negatively.

1. More about the InBody370
body consists of conductors and non-conductors. Generally, 50~70% of the human body
consists of water which functions as a conductor, whereas body fat functions as a non-
conductor.
The classic BIA method measures the impedance of the whole body on the assumption that
the human body can be considered a cylinder for the application of this model. If A is the
cross sectional area, and L is the length, the impedance of the cylinder can be expressed as
follows.
According to this expression, if we know the L and the impedance value, we get the volume.
That is to say, if we know the height of the human body (acting as a conductor), and know
the impedance value, we can get the volume of body water. Here, the volume represents
examinee’ height. Therefore, the two directly used variables in body composition analysis
The principle of the InBody370’s body composition analysis is explained by the following;
the volume of body water, an electrolyte, is calculated first with a measured impedance
value. Then, we can get the value of fat free mass using the volume of body water. Body fat
mass is determined by deducting the lean body mass from the measured weight.
Height should be entered by the user. Weight can be directly measured on the InBody370.

B. Core Technology
The following are key features that make the InBody370 extremely convenient, timely, and
accurate.
method enables the InBody370 to efficiently produce accurate data every time.
There are some claims to be able to estimate the body composition separately; there is no
technology which can really measure it separately other than InBody. Segmental
measurement is the technology that assumes the body as five cylinders of four limbs and
trunk and measures the impedance of these parts separately. Segmental body composition
analysis provides segmental measurement of body water, muscle mass, and fat free mass.
Furthermore, the analysis is highly accurate because the measured value of a certain part
does not affect the measurements of other segments. It is because body composition
analyzers lack accuracy in measuring body fat and cannot figure out the examinee’s exact
shape that they must rely on empirical references to correct inaccurate measured values.
But, the InBody with the technology of segmental analysis can exactly figure out difference
by gender, aging, disease and ethnic without any empirical estimation. Based on the fact
that fat free mass (FFM) consists of about 73.3% of body fluid, it can be concluded that the
distribution of body fluid reflects the distribution of FFM. Because the InBody can analyze
the segmental body fluid distribution (each arm, trunk, and each leg separately), it can as a
