Quick answer: Hydration, a recent meal, exercise and time of day can influence impedance-based estimates. Ask the Mauldin team for their specific preparation instructions rather than following a generic fasting rule online. Do not restrict fluids or stop prescribed medicine to change your result.
Keep conditions consistent
Hydration, a recent meal, exercise and time of day can influence impedance-based estimates. Ask the Mauldin team for their specific preparation instructions rather than following a generic fasting rule online. Do not restrict fluids or stop prescribed medicine to change your result.
Before your appointment
Bring comfortable clothing and tell staff about factors that may affect testing. If you have an implanted device, are pregnant or are unsure whether testing is appropriate, ask before booking. Staff can explain what contact points the equipment uses and whether you need to remove shoes or socks.
Record the context
Note the time of day, recent exercise and anything unusual about meals or hydration. At later visits, aim for similar conditions when practical. A sudden change may reflect fluid shifts rather than a true change in body fat or muscle.
