Quick answer: A body-composition assessment estimates how your weight is distributed across components such as fat mass and fat-free mass. Bioelectrical impedance uses a small electrical signal and a mathematical model; it does not directly photograph tissue. The report can give you a different perspective than a bathroom scale, but every number has uncertainty.
Beyond body weight
A body-composition assessment estimates how your weight is distributed across components such as fat mass and fat-free mass. Bioelectrical impedance uses a small electrical signal and a mathematical model; it does not directly photograph tissue. The report can give you a different perspective than a bathroom scale, but every number has uncertainty.
What to discuss before testing
Tell staff about implanted electronic devices, pregnancy, recent illness and any condition that affects fluid balance. Ask whether the assessment is appropriate before stepping onto the device. A SECA result is not a diagnosis and does not replace a physical examination or laboratory testing.
Putting results in context
Ask which report fields are relevant to your goals. Body weight, estimated muscle mass and body-fat estimates are different measurements. A single assessment cannot prove that a treatment worked. Discuss patterns over time alongside strength, activity, nutrition and how you feel.
