Seaside Medical Practice is proud to announce acquisition of the leading body composition analyzer, Seca mBCA 514, a medical grade scale that measures detailed body composition with impedance technology in less than 20 seconds.\u00a0 Tested by scientists to advance knowledge of the cellular health of your body, mBCA 514 gauges various components of your body such as fat, muscle, and water with up to 98% accuracy when compared to traditional models.\u00a0 We are now able to objectively\u00a0 visualize changes in your composition and monitor therapies accordingly.\u00a0 Whether your health goal is losing weight, or gaining muscle, we are now equipped to offer better solutions with one easy step of \u2018stepping on a scale\u2019.\u00a0 In addition, we are able to assess your hydration status, an important clue to cell’s vitality and kidney health.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how the Seca mBCA 514 machine works in detail. Bioelectrical impedance analysis otherwise known as BIA is based on principles of resistance across body parts by sending electrical current and receiving a signal back.\u00a0 Various components have different electrical current activity or impedance flow.\u00a0 Whereas lean tissue such as muscle has large amount of water and electrolytes, fat and bone are insulators with low conductivity.\u00a0 BIA calculates the various signals and computes your individualized measurements in comparison to general population.<\/p>\n
Skeletal muscle mass values are provided individually to detect wide discrepancy between limb or torso.\u00a0 Measurements over several points in time plays a key role in nutritional medicine because gaining muscle mass positively influences body\u2019s energy.<\/p>\n
Percent of fat mass with respect to total body components.\u00a0 Monitoring of FFM during weight loss program allows better assessment of fat loss, an important determinant as our goal is to lower fat but increase muscle mass with diet and exercise.\u00a0 The body composition chart depicts the change over time.<\/p>\n
Waist circumference measurements taken each time on scale. Strongly associated with cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, excess cortisol,\u00a0 and type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n
Precise measurement of resting and active energy expenditure tells us how many calories per day needed to maintain current status, and gives us benchmark to plan therapy for weight loss.<\/p>\n
Detects edema, and whether weight increase or decrease is related to state of hydration as opposed to fat mass<\/p>\n
Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis provides information about the state of hydration and the body cell mass.\u00a0 We are able to detect with high degree of accuracy whether there is malnutrition or if an intervention by means of infusions is necessary.<\/p>\n
A calculated measurement that shows condition of cells, for example in case of malnutrition the phase angle will be low. The healthier your cells are, the higher the phase angle.<\/p>\n
