InBody products do not rely on empirical data, therefore, medical

professionals can ensure that the output generated by the device
accurately reflects the changes that occur in patients.

InBody does not rely on empirical estimates (based on age, gender, or race) to predict outcomes. With the high levels of
accuracy and precision achieved with the aforementioned technological advances, InBody eliminates population-related
assumptions when determining body composition so the results are based only on individual condition

There are no empirical estimates based on age, sex, ethnicity, or body type. Instead, Direct Segmental Multi Frequency BIA
technology measures body segments separately for accurate analysis based on your body composition

1980 - Found limitations on BIA with empirical data

To increase the accuracy of the results, the researchers derived population-specific

equations to determine body composition. these equations are based on what is
known as empirical data
 1980 – Develop empirical estimation

Empirical data is knowledge obtained by means of observation or

experiment.

In 1986, studies were published where the impedance index was

combined with factors such as weight and gender into an empirical
equation.

Although empirical estimates have the potential to provide an

accurate estimate of the body composition of healthy individuals,
significant problems arise when they are used for medical purposes
where accurate and precise assessment is a requirement.

Age is a common factor in empirical equations used for body composition.

Based on these trends, the empirical equations often diverge, lean body mass
increases for younger individuals and decreases for older individuals.

Suppose a device that relies on empirical equations to estimate body

composition is used on two people who have the same amount of lean body
mass, but one person is 30 years old and the other is 40 years old.

empirical equation will decrease lean body mass at the age of 40 and under.
