What is Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)?
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis is a non-invasive method for estimating body composition by sending very low, harmless electrical current through your body.
It measures impedance (resistance and reactance) based on the principle that tissues with higher water and electrolyte content, like muscle, conduct electricity easier than fat.

InBody Dial H 30 uses a Triple Frequency technique, 4-pole 8-point tactile electrodes to evaluate body composition, including the measurement of water content within your cells, leading to higher accuracy for at-home assessments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prepare myself for the test?
- Take the test on an empty stomach before eating, allow 3 hours after eating. Any food in the stomach may affect the weight, be regarded as body composition, and cause a measurement error.
- Use the bathroom before testing. Urine or faeces which is not included in the body’s compositional elements can influence weight and lead to measurement inaccuracies.
- Avoid exercising at least 3-4 hours before testing. Any exercise can cause temporary changes in body composition.
- Take the test before taking a shower/bath. The body water may be temporarily changed as blood flow rate increases and as you sweat.
- Stand for five minutes before taking the test. If you take the test standing after lying or sitting down for hours, body water may move to the lower body, affecting the test.
- Before the test, remove your socks and shoes and wipe your palms and soles with a wet tissue to keep them moist. If your hands and feet are dry, the test may not proceed, or inaccurate measurements could result in incorrect test outcomes.
How long does it take?
The impedance measurement takes 15 seconds or less.
