be determined by measuring the electrical resistance (impedance), and the inclusion in a calculation of

constants and individual parameters (age, height, gender, degree of activity).

Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, and therefore lower resistance.

Bones and fatty tissue, on the other hand, have low conductivity, as fat cells and bones conduct hardly

any current as a result of their very high resistance.

Please be aware that values obtained from the diagnostic scale represent only an approximation of actual

analytical medical data. Only a specialist physician can accurately determine body fat, body water, muscle

percentage and bone structure using medical procedures (e.g. computed tomography).
