Regarding Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis If you have any questions about the MA601 relating to scientific basis not addressed in the FAQ, please contact us at the following E-mail address: info_cec@charder.com.tw 1. How are Body Composition results measured?
  • Page 61 XII. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS(FAQ) ■ Individuals with embedded metal may receive inaccurate results, as BIA may interpret highly conductive metal as body water, affecting results. 3. Is the electric current harmful to the body ? Aside from users with implanted medical device, no scientific research has been published cautioning against bioelectrical impedance analysis.
  • Page 62 XII. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS(FAQ) ■ Avoid talking, and try to hold still as possible during measurement. ■ Perform the measurement in the morning. ■ Perform the measurement under normal temperature conditions (24-28°C). 7. The measurement results seem incorrect? Body composition varies throughout the day, and results are often affected by water distribution, especially strenuous physical activities that may change water distribution in your body.
