AKERN Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis

 In many areas of medicine, fitness, wellness and lifestyle consulting bio-impedance analysis BIA is an established diagnostic modality analyzing body composition, particularly for cell mass and hydration determination. In nutritional medicine, adiposity treatment, and weight management BIA became an indispensable tool in assessing and monitoring fat free mass FFM, bio-active cell mass BCM, muscle mass as well as intra- and extra cellular water within a few minutes without any discomfort for the test individual. The combination of the clinically validated » Biavector® and » BIAGRAM® diagrams implemented with the clinical Akern BIA analyzers offers a direct evaluation of hydration and nutrition status at one glance. Additionally, this unique approach is independent of assumptions and co-predictors such as age, gender, and weight, which may influence the results of conventional bio-impedance instruments by as much as 80%. Besides valuable information about cell and fat mass, essential in assessment of anabolic and catabolic changes, hydration impairments (edema, ascites, cardiac insufficiency) can be diagnosed and followed.
