The seca mBCA can be recommended especially due to its precision of measurements for use in scientific studies. We have chosen this device, for example for measuring body composition in the German National Cohort, a long-term population study with planned 200.000 attendees. The seca measurement results provide body composition (fat mass and fat-free mass) or the determination of total body water in comparison with the gold standard in a very good way. The instrument itself needs only a few seconds to measure, is fast and simple to use and the measurement requires no elaborate preparation from the test persons or patients. Moreover, the seca mBCA delivers additional parameters with regards to the individual body components that can be valuable for the test person or the operator of the device.

Through the seca mBCA product and software and thanks to its characteristics I have contributed to establish the body obesity measuring in our university, in order to obtain an effective strategic and early estimation of the risk of obesity.

Rebecca Culpin, Renal Lead Nurse in the Broomfield Hospital Renal Unit based in Essex, is enjoying the benefits of the seca mBCA since 2014. The seca mBCA + the software seca analytics 115 is mainly used in her Renal Unit for diagnostic support with complex Renal patients to help clinicians make decisions on fluid management, haemodialysis and nutritional status.

With the seca mBCA a contribution to the study of bioelectric characteristics of Cuban elite athletes has been done and new knowledge has been introduced that will be leveraged in the practice and teaching of sports sciences which - so far - had no research with BIA in Cuban athletes. The research yielded a wealth of reference data for a wide range of indicators to be used in the daily practice of laboratories using the same device. BIA from the seca mBCA showed benefits for the longitudinal study of athletic populations and study the process of hydration in Cuban elite athletes.

The seca mBCA has helped speed up the process of measuring all of our athletes versus our past method using calipers. The reliability of being able to have multiple trainers use the device and knowing that it is always consistent and the results are reproducible because of the fixed handrail positioning, really helps to simplify our workload. Instead of measuring athletes on a bi-monthly basis, I am now able to measure them weekly and review trend analysis on their body fat, lean mass, and hydration levels. This valuable data allows me to customize each athletes’ training program and further educate them on nutrition and recovery strategies between practices and games.
