Afterwards the determined data will be shown repeatedly.
Then the scale will automatically turn off.
Assessment of the Results
There are heavy persons with a well-balanced percentage
between fat and muscle mass, and there are seemingly slim
persons with significantly high body fat values. Fat is a factor
that puts serious strain on the body, in particular the cardio-
vascular system. Therefore, controlling both values (fat and
weight) is a prerequisite for health and fitness.
Body Fat
Body fat is an important component of the body. From
protecting the joints as a vitamin repository to regulating the
body temperature, fat plays a vital role in the body. Thus the
goal is not to radically reduce the proportion of body fat, but
rather to achieve and maintain a healthy balance between
muscle and fat.

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate / Energy Expenditure)
The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) characterizes the energy
expenditure. The energy expenditure is used to describe the
amount of energy in KCAL that the body requires per day
during complete rest, at an indifference temperature
(28 - 30 °C) and on an empty stomach for the maintenance of
its function (e.g. while sleeping).

The Importance of Water for our Health
Approximately fifty-five to sixty percent of the human body
consist of water, depending on age and gender in varying
amounts.
Water has to fulfill several tasks within the body:
• It is the building block of our cells. That means that all the
• It is a solvent for important substances in our body.
• It is a means of conveyance for nutrients, the body's own
Reference values for your fitness profile can be seen in the
benchmark table. It shows the dependency of body fat data
on age and gender. Always pay attention to your body's water
balance, which, as well as the fat level, undergoes strong
fluctuations throughout the day. Therefore, to obtain consist-
ent data, always measure at the same time of day.
The calculated results of the body fat and water level should
only be considered as reference values. They are not rec-
ommended to be used for medical purposes. Please always
consult a doctor if you have questions about a medical treat-
ment or a diet in order to achieve a normal body weight.
