The human body is made up amongst other things of water, fat and muscle
mass. A fat proportion which is too high or too low may lead to increased
health risks. The personal scales with body analysis functionality provide use-
ful support in motivating someone to reach or maintain the best possible body
weight by monitoring the proportion of body fat.
The scale measures using BIA (Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis). When you
step onto the metal plates barefoot, extremely weak electrical current is
passed into your body. The scale weighs the difference between these
signals. The measurements are used in combination with personal data such
as age, gender, height and weight to calculate the amount of body fat.
NOTES
Excessive drinking, eating, training, medical treatment, the
female menstrual cycle etc. affect the measuring results.
The body fat, water content and muscle measurements will
be incorrect for women during pregnancy.
