What is the InBody Test?
What does your weight really represent? When you step on a scale, you can’t see how much muscle or fat you have—all you see is a number with no context. Go beyond the scale with the InBody Test, a non-invasive, quick, and accurate body composition analysis that provides a detailed breakdown of your weight in terms of muscle, fat, and water. Your comprehensive yet easy-to-understand measurements will display on an InBody Result Sheet in 15-120 seconds, depending on the model. Get results you can trust so you can reach your health and fitness goals with precision and actionable objectives.
Everyone has a unique body composition—that’s why InBody makes innovative technology tailored to the individual, not a group. Body composition is used by health care professionals to evaluate a person’s weight by breaking it down into its core components: fat, protein, minerals, and body water. It describes your healthy weight more accurately and provides a better glimpse into your overall health than traditional methods like BMI & weight. Body composition analysis can accurately show changes in fat mass, lean muscle mass, and body fat percentage.
InBody’s medical-grade body composition analyzers use four pillars of technology to provide accurate, precise direct segmental measurement multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (DSM-MFBIA) extensively validated to gold-standard methods.
Inbody Scan
You can see the key components of your body. Weight alone does not truly reflect the changes taking place when you improve your diet and lifestyle. The InBody scan turns a simple “weigh-in” into a full picture of your health – helping you track your progress, stay motivated, and take control of your wellness journey.
What is the Handgrip Strength Test?
The handgrip strength test is a simple, quick test where you squeeze a device (called a dynamometer) as hard as you can. It measures how strong your hand and forearm muscles are and is a fast and reliable way to check muscle function. When combined with an InBody scan and nutritional assessment, it gives a complete picture of both your body composition and your functional strength, helping us build the best plan for your health.

Why is Handgrip Strength important?
Indicator of Muscle Health
Indicator of Muscle Health
Handgrip strength reflects overall muscle strength in the body, not just the hand. Lower grip strength can signal muscle weakness or loss (sarcopenia).
Predictor of Nutrition Status
Predictor of Nutrition Status
Studies show that grip strength is strongly linked to nutrition and protein intake. Poor nutrition or malnutrition often shows up as reduced grip strength.
Health & Recovery Marker
Health & Recovery Marker
Weak grip strength is linked to higher risk of illness, longer recovery times, and frailty in older adults. Tracking it helps us monitor progress in chronic disease management, and weight-loss or strength programs.
Practical Daily Relevance
Practical Daily Relevance
Strong grip strength is important for everyday tasks like opening jars, carrying groceries, and maintaining independence as we age.
