Technical Terms
The term Body Analysis is also included in the literature as a body composition analysis and can be expressed as the removal of body composition by determining the segment structure constituting the total weight for the person being analyzed using a scientific body analysis method.
Briefly, body analysis is a decomposition which is used to reveal the structure of the person's weight and to create a diet and fitness program suitable for this composition.
Roughly speaking, the segment structure that makes up the weight,
Body Fat Ratio
Oils are the most important source of energy. The fact that the adipose tissue, which is a normal member of our body and indispensable for human physiology, will determine the presence of a disease state. It should not be forgotten that; obesity occurs if the total energy value of any edible food is more than the energy consumed.
Average oil intake is between 35% and 40% in most industrialized countries. In order to achieve optimal health, it is recommended that this ratio be reduced to 30% to 35% and that no more than one-third of saturated fats is present. Appropriate total fat intake for a man is around 95 grams per day, while women should be 75 grams. Our body needs a certain amount of fat to stay active and healthy.
Oils; supporting our joints, protecting our organs, supplying vitamins, controlling our body temperature, energy reserve (in case of starvation). For this, the amount of fat required for our body should be decided consciously. So this ratio in our body should be neither more nor less. It should be ideally sized and as necessary.
Just knowing the weight and proportioning with height cannot give enough information about obesity (body fat) and our health, the important thing is the fat-muscle distribution. Oils around the internal organs cannot be measured with conventional scales. Therefore, “Body Fat Monitors” have been developed. TANITA Body Fat Monitor, which is measured by BIA (Bioelectical Impedance Analysis) technique, has been approved by many medical specialists and institutions, it has been used in many scientific researches both at home and abroad and has been referenced in these studies; different researches are currently being conducted with different models.
Body Composition Concept and Ve Bia Analysis Method ”
There are many methods and ways to determine body composition; Of course, the person can be decided only by looking at whether or not fat. So a familiar eye can only be diagnosed by inspection. However, the diagnosis should be proved by objective criteria. It is divided into Direct Carcas Analyze and Indirect Measurement . The direct measurement method cannot be applied on the living human body, but it can be applied on the cadaver. One of the indirect measurement methods is Inspection , which is applied by the decision of the naked eye without tools. The other indirect method is Anthropometric Measurement Methods. Weight and weight comparisons, environmental and diameter measurements, skinfold thickness calculations are evaluated in this group.
Densitometry ; is the general name of the methods used to determine body composition from body density.
Under Water Tests ; tests are very difficult to apply. The object immersed in water is based on the principle of buoyancy which is based on the principle of buoyancy, which loses weight as much as the water it carries. The volume of the body immersed in water is equal to the volume of water it carries. However, there are many conditions to be applied and adhered to. .
The Bottle Lifting Method is another under water test. It involves direct measurement of water volume and is based on the fact that 1 liter of water displaced at 4 ° C applies a buoyancy of 9.81 N.
In the Potassium 40 Method ; Since the body naturally emits gamma radiation in the form of K 40, since the K 40 ratio determines all the amount of potassium in the body and there is a fairly constant amount of potassium in the lean tissues, the measurement of the amount of potassium in the body will help in the body composition. The K 40 count is determined by radioactive counting.
Isotopic Dilution Method ; total body water can be measured by various isotopic dilution techniques.The most commonly used are "antipyrine, tritiumoxide, deuterinoxide" .Typical procedure involves the administration of one of these substances to the venous blood by oral administration of a certain amount of one of these substances. In the fat resistance determination group from tissue resistance, II method is available. Infrared method and Bio Electric Impedance Method. Infrared method is the method that measures the skin fold thickness by looking at the time the light travels back to the thickness of the fat tissue on the surface of the skin and returned.
Bio Electric Impedance Method is a fast, noninvasive and inexpensive method. In this method, impedance is measured by the BIA Analyzer by giving a low level of electrical current to the body. The total amount of water in the body can be determined by the impedance value. Because electrolytes in body water are good electrical permeable. the electrical current will pass with less resistance.
USG (Ultrasonography), CT (Computerized Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance) can be analyzed using imaging methods such as.All these methods are formed as a result of long studies and years of experience, each method has its own rules and operation and "Indirect Measurement" Because of their method ", they will be open to error unless the method and rules are applied in all methods. Today, Bio Impedance Analysis Method is used more in terms of practicality, ease, convenience and cost.
All of these methods have been formed as a result of long studies and years of experience, each method has its own rules and method of operation. and in terms of cost, Bio Impedance Analysis Method is used more.
ISSUES TO BE CONSIDERED IN BIA ANALYSIS
The devices are made for adults and children older than five years.
“TANITA Body Fat Monitor yüksek shows high values in some people.
a. People taking cardiovascular drugs (heart disease)
b.Participants engaged in intense sports for 10 hours or more per week (in products without athlete mode, when trying to make normal measurements)
Those whose pulse is at rest 60 and below.
Those who have a weight above the measuring capacity of the device and have a mass of fat above 75% of the body
Professional athletes and bodybuilders (for products without athlete mode, when trying to measure normally)
This type of athletes dehydration (body fluid loss) is above normal, may not be accurate results.
Children under 5 years; People older than 70 years; Pregnant women; Dialysis survivors; We cannot see the measurement results of those with edema as accurate and precise value.
RESULTS DIFFERENCES IN BIA ANALYSIS
The values obtained as a result of the analysis may change during the day. For example, the value that appears at 21% in the first measurement can be 19% after a few hours.
- Various factors can affect the rate of fat in our body. For example, after bathing, body fat may appear less than normal.
- It may appear higher than usual when we wake up or just after a meal.
- In any disease or menstrual period (from the end of the period to the third day), during periods of intense fluid loss, in alcoholic situations this value will not be in the body standard.
- Drug use (especially hormonal drugs and intestinal regulators)
- Fasting and staying hungry for long.
- Disease related fever.
- Pregnancy.
- Physical fatigue
- Stress, depression
- Drugs and drug use
- Excessive caffeine consumption
- We may not be able to see actual values in cases of heavy exercise.
FOR THE RIGHT MEASUREMENTS IN BIA ANALYSIS
- Three hours after getting out of bed,
- After going to the bathroom,
- Three hours after sports,
- On average three hours after meals and excessive fluid intake,
- Before bathing, sauna and swimming,
- Bare and dry feet,
- Measurements to be taken at the same time of the day will be the most accurate.
In general, measurements are recommended in the late afternoon and early evening hours. Of course, each person's unique life and food habits, the appropriate time period will determine the most accurate again. If you measure at the right time and under the same conditions, you can follow the changes in your body composition.
