ThisscaleoperatesaccordingtotheB.I.A.principle(bioelectricimpedanceanalysis).Thisenables
physical relationships to be measured within seconds by means of an undetectable, completely
harmless electric current. The body fat percentage and other physical relationships in the body can
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ac-
tual 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).
General tips
–Ifpossible,alwaysweighyourselfatthesametimeofday(preferablyinthemorning),afterusing
thetoilet,onanemptystomachandunclothed,inordertoachievecomparableresults.
–Importantforthemeasurement:bodyfatcanonlybemeasuredwhenbarefootandwiththesoles
ofthefeetslightlymoist.Completelydrysolescanresultinunsatisfactorymeasurementsdueto

Stand still during the measurement.
