Every InBody body composition test ends with a single number: your InBody Score<\/strong>. But what does this number actually mean, and how should you use it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide explains exactly what the InBody Score measures, what a good score looks like, and how to use it to track your progress over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The InBody Score is a single number between 0 and 100 that summarises your overall body composition health. It is calculated from your skeletal muscle mass and body fat mass, compared against a standard appropriate for your body weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A higher score means you have more muscle and less fat relative to your body weight. A lower score means the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not a fitness score or a health grade. It is a body composition index, a single number that captures the fat-to-muscle ratio of your body in a way that is easy to track over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Most active adults score between 65 and 80. Elite athletes and very muscular individuals can score above 90. The score is most useful as a trend indicator, watching it improve over weeks and months as you exercise and adjust your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Is the InBody Score Calculated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
