  • Page 7: Bio Impedance Analysis (Bia)

    1.4 Bio impedance analysis (BIA) BIA is the common measurement method among Body Balance body analysis scales. This method does not directly measure values like body fat, body water, and muscle mass but instead measures the electric resistance (impedance) of the body. The respective body values are then calculated based on the personal values (body weight and measured body impedance). The evaluation of the body values is based on a scientific study of a European reference population group.

  • Page 8: Rules For Weighing

    1.6 Rules for weighing The weight of an adult can change by approx. 2-3 kg during one day. For a reliable weight control it is therefore important to maintain constant weighing conditions. That’s why it’s best to weigh oneself • sober • always at the same time: the time between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. is best for body analysis.
