BIA, or bioelectric impedance analysis, is a fast, accurate, and safe way to measure six key body composition elements. Through the study of the electrical properties of the body and their changes over time, health professionals can easily measure clients’ overall health and quickly chart their progress. BIA analysis is quick, painless, and completely non-invasive, using four electrodes placed on the body: no needles or bloodwork required.

​

BIA can be performed on any living thing: humans, animals, and even plants. It can be used in clinical, educational, or research settings. Body composition assessment provides healthcare professionals and their clients with a powerful, accurate window into disease and health.
