NOTES ON THE MEASUREMENT VALUES _____
Notes
▪
The following table contains guideline values
which will help you to assess your body fat
and body water percentages. There are no
guidelines for muscle mass and bone mass.
▪
It is more important to observe the changes
in your body fat percentage, body water per-
centage, muscle mass and bone mass over
a longer period than to concentrate on your
body weight.
▪
Ensure that your bare feet are always in con-
tact with the measurement electrodes. Very
dry skin or thick callouses can influence the
analysis result. In this case, the scales show

«.
▪
To achieve accurate measurement results,
do not use the scales immediately after con-
suming coffee, beer, wine or other alcoholic
drinks. The same applies to physical exercise.
These factors reduce the percentage of water
in the body tissue (dehydration). In such cases,
wait for several hours.

Body fat percentage
It is particularly important to monitor your body
fat percentage. A body fat percentage that is too
high can lead to high blood pressure, high cho-
lesterol, heart problems and other physical prob-
lems. The following recommendations for body
fat have been given by the American College of
Sports Medicine:
Notes
▪
It is best to measure the body weight, body
fat percentage and body water percentage
at the same time each time, ideally during the
evening.
▪
If possible, use the scales when undressed.
This gives more accurate measurement results.
▪
The measurement results are not suitable for
drawing medical conclusions. If in doubt,
please contact your doctor.
▪
Your feet should always be clean and dry
when you use the scales.
