This scale hase a trend display, in which the value currently measured is compared with the averages
of the last 5 measurements.
– Trend display up s: present value is higher than the average of the last 5 measurements.
– Trend display down t: present value is lower than the average of the last 5 measurements.
– Trend display up and down s t: present value is the same as the average of the last 5 measurements.
Note that a trend is shown only for the body weight and the body fat, body water and muscle
percentages and can be shown only when you have stored at least 5 body fat percentages etc.
Interpretation
The weight values and the body fat, body
water and muscle percentages are interpre-
ted with a bar in the evaluation graphic. When the values are low, the bar is shown to the left (-).
When the bar is in the middle area, the values are normal. While in the right-hand area (+) the values
are relatively high.
Weight:
Your weight is compared with the BMI (Body Mass Index). It is calculated using the following formu-
la: BMI = Weight in kg / (height in m)² .
Underweight
Normal weight
<20
20-25
Note that with very muscular physiques (body builders), the BMI interpretation will show overweight.
The reason for this is that no account is taken of well above average muscle mass in the BMI formula.

The following body fat percentages are for guidance (contact your physician for further information).
