Body Composition Analysis
ELIA Lifestyle Medicine Centre’s Seca mBCA is a specialised medical device used to estimate body composition by sending a low-level electrical current through the body and measuring the resistance to the current flow.
Within seconds, you’ll receive a complete body composition image plus the option of having specific questions answered thanks to a detailed analysis.
Seca’s BIA Medical Body Composition Analysis is medically validated and it’s precision is a result of cooperation of medical experts and research in the field of body composition.

Fitness Monitoring
BIA can be used to monitor skeletal muscle mass and hydration levels.
BIA also provides a segmental skeletal muscle mass analysis on 5 key areas (trunk, left & right arm, left & right leg) which can be used to optimise training programs and identify areas for improvement in strength, endurance, and performance.

Weight Management
BIA can assist individuals aiming to lose weight or improve their fitness by providing measurements of body fat percentage.
Tracking changes in body composition can help you better understand the effectiveness of your diet and exercise routine.
The Process
What happens during a scan?
We will ask you to take off shoes and socks and stand on the platform, holding onto the handles for roughly 60 seconds. The machine will take your height and weight and then deliver a detailed analysis on your body composition!
You receive:
A detailed Seca BIA Measurement Report and FREE access to Seca MyAnalytics
Can I Re-Test?
If you wish to re-test your body composition regularly we recommend booking at the same time of day each time and ensure a similar level of hydration each time for test accuracy. Seca MyAnalytics access can help you monitor your progress over successive re-tests.
Clinical Support
If you're looking for a deeper analysis of your results, our clinicians can provide advice and help you design strategies to improve key areas and monitor results.
