How should I prepare for an InBody measurement?
Measure at a consistent time, avoid intense exercise in the 12 hours before, remove heavy metal objects, and maintain normal hydration. For comparable tracking, repeat the same conditions at each visit.
Should electrolyte wipes be used?
On very dry skin or in cold environments, electrolyte wipes can improve electrode contact. Follow your device and professional guidance.
Can I use InBody with a pacemaker?
People with pacemakers or other active electronic implants should not use InBody bioimpedance without prior medical advice. Always consult your physician.

Pregnancy changes fluid distribution and results may be harder to interpret. Measurement during pregnancy should only be done with medical validation.
What is the maximum supported weight?
Capacity depends on the model. Check your device specifications (for example 270 kg on several professional models) and always respect manufacturer limits.
From what age can measurements be taken?
Pediatric protocols vary by model. In general, child measurements should be interpreted by a healthcare professional using age-appropriate references.
What is the difference between skeletal muscle mass and lean mass?
Skeletal muscle mass estimates the muscles responsible for movement. Lean mass also includes water, organs, and other non-fat tissues. Both indicators answer different clinical questions.
