Dr. med. Philip Michel manages to control the chronic diseases of his patients with nutrition counseling. The medical Body Composition Analyzer (mBCA 515) helps him determining the proportion of his patients visceral fat, as well as the course of their skeletal muscle mass. In his treatment Dr. Michel has found a strong partner, the Bodymed-concept, which enables patients to – medically accompanied – reach and keep their ideal weight.
Nelly Kreß, nutritional consultant in Berlin, can no longer imagine her work without an examination of the body composition. Due to the medical validation and the use in university hospitals, the choice of the seca mBCA was easy for her and her patients are also convinced of the value of this method.
In a patient-focused setting, Dr. Nguyen, MD, and her colleagues use seca’s medical body composition analyzer in addition to blood tests to quickly determine a patient’s state of health. Patients gratefully experience a reduction in their daily medicine intake and an improvement in their quality of life.
Measuring body composition is really important as part of how we show our Strength, Yoga and U-cycle group exercisers how they are achieving their results and goals. We have additionally used the seca measurements to assess the success of our KXU medispa whole body cryo therapy and red light PhotoBioModulation (infrared red) treatments with excellent results. There are numerous ways of testing and we have found the seca mBCA the most robust method of bioimpedance thus far.

David Nieman, PhD, Director of the Human Performance Lab at the Appalachian State University in Kannapolis, NC uses the seca mBCA in his human performance research. The body composition analysis provides him with accurate information about a test subject's fat mass, fat-free mass, and skeletal muscle mass.
Obtaining a value of Resting Energy Expenditure can be quite involved. Traditionally, this value is determined with the use of a metabolic chamber or metabolic cart. Research has shown, though, that one can determine RMR using the fat-free mass of a test subject. David Nieman, PhD, Director of the Human Performance Lab at Appalachian State University is using a seca mBCA 514 medical body composition analyser to accurately determine the fat-free mass and thus come to the RMR in seconds, rather than the more time intensive but less accurate methods using a metabolic chamber or cart.
Felice Gersh, Medical Director at the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, describes how she uses body composition analysis on Patients that are on the Fasting Mimicking Diet. She has been able to confirm with the seca mBCA 514 that patients lose predominantly fat and not lean muscle mass.
Felice Gersh of the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, CA declares her goal to prevent changes in body composition of menopausal women by utilizing the seca mBCA 514. This medical device gives her insights into the development of her patient's fat mass, fat-free mass, muscle mass, visceral fat, phase angle and water weight and helps her in determining how to respond with the appropriate hormone therapy.
David Voellinger, MD, describes the shift in focus from a weight loss (BMI) based practice to a body composition based workflow. "The percentage of body fat and the percentage of body muscle is way more important clinically than a number on a scale.
David Voellinger, MD describes the value of body composition analysis in clinical application. He speaks to his use of the seca medical Body Composition Analyzer (mBCA) pre-op and the value of being able to determine the development of fat mass and skeletal muscle mass independently when determining an individualized weight loss regimen for his patients. He appreciates the four-extremities display of muscle mass and the ability to determine whether a patient’s water weight is mostly held in muscle or if it is water otherwise retained in the body.

In the complex symphony of interactions that are the human body, it is paramount to find an objective "before and after" guide to monitor therapy. We evaluate patients presenting for weight loss, heart disease, chronic infections, hormone replacement therapy, diabetes and more using the seca mBCA. The assessment is simple and quick, the report is easy to understand and explain to patients. The subsequent evaluations are helpful to guide adjustments in care when other tools are less specific, and patients are encouraged by the measured progress beyond the scale or confirmation that their efforts have not been in vain.
The seca mBCA provides an efficient, non-invasive method to accurately measure body composition. As a results focused training facility, we had previously relied upon calipers which can have a great deal of variability or hydrostatic and DEXA scans which are not as easily accessed. Often times, clients are initially adding muscle mass without reducing body fat. This is to be expected but can be frustrating to see weight on a traditional scale increasing. Having a tool that enables us to track not only total body weight but body composition, segmental body fat and hydration; has helped us validate clients efforts aiding them in maintaining/increasing motivation, adherence and effort.
What fascinates me most about the seca mBCA is that the result is already presented in sarcopenia and hydration charts. Together with the phase angle, this gives an adequate picture of the state of health. The precision of the values is impressive. The results support my trainings and meet my expectations. The Body Mass Index (BMI) has already contributed a lot to medicine, but needs updating and modernization. The medical analysis of body composition is this progress. In the not-too-distant future, we will have an mBCA in every healthcare facility. I am very grateful that this progress is part of my life and my patients.
Currently, the evaluation of body composition plays a fundamental role in nutritional anamnesis and prescription of personalized and adequate food plans for the individual needs of each patient; while additionally monitoring the evolution presented during the proposed treatment period. In this way the seca mBCA has become indispensable in the clinical routine of our office, counting on speed, precision and medical reliability.

The seca mBCA was definitely the right choice for starting our Medical Weight Loss practice. As clinicians, it gives us everything we need with enhanced precision and reliability. As business owners looking to provide a fabulous patient experience, the design of the mBCA is very accommodating for even our largest patients, and the hand rails are perfect for providing balance and support. The analysis is quick and easy for them, and generates custom reports with graphs to help in understanding their progress.

A thorough patient assessment lays the foundation for designing a customized treatment protocol. For patients undergoing HRT & TRT - the seca mBCA is an excellent tool to assess water weight vs. muscle mass fluctuations, lending further insight into aromatization and resultant interventions. With the vast changes occurring throughout the body; it’s essential to monitor water retention to accurately assess how a patient is responding to treatment. The quick and comparative study that the mBCA provides assists in determining the best approach to optimize therapy.

The seca mBCA 515 surprised me by the easiness, quickness and quality of the results measured in patients from different origin and body composition. Adhesion to treatment is greater once the results are presented in an easy-to-understand report. I am very satisfied with the acquisition and recommend it to everyone who is in the clinic.

The use of the seca mBCA is very valuable in our clinical practice, where we need to monitor changes in body composition, e.g. during weight loss programs including dietary restriction and bariatric surgery as well as during nutritional support therapies in malnourished patients. Results of the respective analysis often provide a most motivating feedback for our patients. Its easy and fast application makes it an elegant tool in nutritional medicine that we would not like to miss.
