The Evolt 360 uses a scientifically validated test known as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). It is considered the fastest, non- invasive method of screening total body composition.
Bioelectrical Impedance (BIA) works by passing a safe, low intensity electrical current through the body via the tactical points on the machine (feet and hands). In very basic terms, the resistance to flow of the current determines the difference between muscle mass, fat mass (including visceral and subcutaneous), water and minerals.
The Evolt 360 advanced measuring system uses a 5-compartment model, which essentially provides a more accurate measure than a 1 compartment system (ie. Such as a single scale that claims to use BIA technology).
BIA was the science that was originally developed for the use in monitoring hospital patients after surgery, as well as in other areas of medicine, from Nephrology to Oncology, in Sports Science, Fitness, and Medical wellness, in Nutrition, Weight Management, Diabetes and Lifestyle monitoring.
BIA has been used for many years in the medical field to assess lean tissue losses in oncology patients. It is widely used and validated in science as a safe, reliable and repeatable measure of body composition
