Measurement method

NOTICE!
From a medical standpoint, the analytical
results provided by the scale are only of an
approximate nature. Only a medical special-
ist is capable of performing exact measure-
ments of the percentage of body fat, body
water, muscle or bone mass using special
medical instruments.
The scale uses very low voltage to measure your physi-
cal data. The voltage is transmitted through your body,
that is, through the different parts of your body. In the
process, the current encounters different resistances.
Water and muscle tissue have a low resistance making
them good conductors. Fat and bone are poor conduc-
tors and therefore exhibit a high resistance.
These resistances or impedances are measured and
used to calculate the percentages of water, bone and
muscle based on individual physical characteristics such
as height, age and gender. This method of measure-
ment is known as the "bioelectric impedance analysis"
(BIA).
