Introducing the InBody170 - BODY COMPOSITION ANALYZER
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
measure these ingredients.
Until recently, diagnosing obesity has focused on appearance, without considering a
balanced body composition. For more reasonable health care, accurate body composition
analysis must be performed first, to achieve the balance of the four major body
components.
Biospace has earned recognition in the international market for technical expertise
demonstrated through the InBody series. Based on the experience and technology over
the last 10 years, Biospace has released the body composition analyzer, the InBody170 .
With direct segmental measurement, the InBody170 guarantees high accuracy and
reproducibility. The InBody170 yields accurate results unique to the individual, regardless
of empirical estimations and reliably evaluates the effectiveness of diet control and
exercise prescription.
Biospace is committed to providing advanced equipment to promote good health and a
long life.
