INBODY BWA 2.0® AT OMNIA IN LONDON
BWA pioneers the utilisation of 3MHz frequency, revolutionising precise measurements across diverse subjects. This cutting-edge technology ensures measurement stability regardless of environmental factors, akin to the operational principles of DEXA machines. Comparative studies with DEXA demonstrate the accuracy of DSM-BIA technology, which delivers results based on direct measurements without reliance on estimations.
By employing a combination of two forceps electrodes, including the innovative Clamp electrode placed on the wrist and ankle, BWA ensures high reproducibility and minimises measurement errors. This approach not only optimises electrode positioning but also eliminates resistance from the hands and feet, thereby enhancing the accuracy of results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Most diet and fitness goals focus on weight loss or gain, overlooking that two people of the same sex and body weight may look completely different from each other because they have different body compositions. Measuring your body composition will tell you – your own body’s unique build and help you identify areas to work on to improve your overall health and wellness. Getting a better insight into your overall wellness starts with measuring your body composition and going beyond the number on the scale. You will know whether you need to gain more lean mass or lower body fat percentage to achieve a healthy body composition and a better level of health.
You may not have heard of body composition before, but you are probably familiar with BMI. What is the difference? Body Mass Index (BMI) is a popular method used to assess the health of an individual by comparing the amount of weight they carry to their height: BMI – kg/m2
Despite BMI’s widespread use in clinical practice, it has many limitations and is a poor tracking tool for weight change because it cannot differentiate between changes in fat and muscle mass. Relying solely on BMI to predict health or mortality oversimplifies health and ignores important factors contributing to optimal well-being.
When you aim to improve your health, you likely focus on losing fat and gaining muscle. The weight scale and BMI cannot discern how much of your weight loss is fat, muscle, or body water, but body composition analysis can.
The frequency of using the InBody BWA depends on your goals and health status. For general monitoring, you might use it every few weeks or months. Consult a healthcare professional for guidance on the best frequency for your specific situation.
Yes, the InBody BWA can help track changes in body composition and hydration levels, making it a valuable tool for individuals working on fitness goals or maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Yes, the InBody BWA can be very useful for athletes to monitor their hydration levels and track changes in lean muscle mass and body fat. Maintaining proper hydration is critical for optimal athletic performance.
A typical InBody BWA measurement usually takes 5-7 minutes.
If you have medical implants, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider before using the InBody BWA. Some medical implants could interfere with the electrical currents used for measurements.
To ensure accurate measurements, it is recommended to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, avoid eating 2 hours before the test, avoid drinking alcohol and caffeine for at least 24 hours before the test, and avoid strenuous exercise for 6 hours before the measurement. Wearing light clothing and removing metal objects can also improve accuracy.
