Why Track Body Composition?
Bioelectrical impedance analysis provides comprehensive medical body composition analysis information that can be used to monitor overall health and track changes in body composition over time.
BIA provides key measurements including:
Body Fat Percentage, Metabolic Rate, Hydration Status, Fat Mass, Fat Free Mass, Skeletal Muscle Mass, Segmental Skeletal Muscle Mass -

Fitness Monitoring
BIA can be used to monitor skeletal muscle mass and hydration levels.
BIA also provides a segmental skeletal muscle mass analysis on 5 key areas (trunk, left & right arm, left & right leg) which can be used to optimise training programs and identify areas for improvement in strength, endurance, and performance.

Health Risk Assessment
BIA provides information about the distribution of fat, fat free mass and skeletal muscle mass in the body.
Excess body fat, especially around the organs, is associated with an increased risk of various health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.

Weight Management
BIA can assist individuals aiming to lose weight or improve their fitness by providing measurements of body fat percentage.
Tracking changes in body composition can help you better understand the effectiveness of your diet and exercise routine.
Our Seca mBCA 555 BIA Medical Body Composition Analyser is a specialised medical device used to estimate body composition by sending a low-level electrical current through the body and measuring the resistance to the current flow.
Within seconds, you’ll receive a complete body composition image plus the option of having specific questions answered thanks to a detailed analysis.
The Process
What happens during a scan?
We will ask you to take off shoes and socks and stand on the platform, holding onto the handles for roughly 60 seconds. The machine will take your height and weight and then deliver a detailed analysis on your body composition!
Clinical Support.
If you're looking for a deeper analysis of your results, our clinicians can provide advice and help you design strategies to improve key areas and monitor results.
You will receive:
We give you a detailed Seca BIA Measurement Report.
If you want further dietary or exercise advice you may book an appointment with
our health coach, lifestyle medicine doctor, dietitian or exercise physiologist.
Can I Re-Test?
If you wish to re-test your body composition regularly we recommend booking at the same time of day each time for test with a similar level of hydration for each test.
