    On the other hand, body fat does not store much water, therefore has little electric conductivity. The Omron Full Body Sensor Body Composition Monitor and Scale sends an extremely weak electrical current of 50 kHz and less than 500 µA through your body to determine the amount of water in each tissue.
  • Page 7: Body Mass Index

    Karl Loren Program Your Life 7 of 44 INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION BODY MASS INDEX Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. BMI is a reliable indicator of body fatness for people. BMI does not measure body fat directly, but research has shown that BMI correlates to direct measures of body fat.

  • Page 9: Resting Metabolism

    Karl Loren Program Your Life 9 of 44 INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION RESTING METABOLISM Regardless of your activity level, a minimum level of caloric intake is required to sustain the body’s everyday functions. Known as the resting metabolism, this indicates how many calories you need to ingest in order to provide enough energy for your body to function.
  • Page 10: Skeletal Muscle

    39.0 - 43.6 > 43.7 Source: Omron Healthcare BODY AGE Body age is based on your resting metabolism. Body age is calculated by using your weight, body fat percentage and skeletal muscle percentage to produce a guide to whether your body age is above or below the average for your actual age.
  • Page 11: Long-Term Planning For Successful Weight Loss

    More skeletal muscle can prevent “rebound” weight gain. The Omron Full Body Sensor Body Composition Monitor and Scale tracks your progress by monitoring weight, skeletal muscle, body fat, BMI and resting metabolism rate to help you reach your goals.
