1. Getting to know your device
The measurement principle
This scale works on the principle of B.I.A. (bioelectrical impedance analysis). This involves the calculation
of body content in a matter of seconds, using a current that cannot be felt, is completely harmless and
does not pose any risk.
When this measurement of the electrical resistance (impedance) is considered alongside constants and/
or individual values (age, height, gender, activity level), the body fat percentage and other variables in the
body can be calculated. Muscle tissue and water conduct electricity well and therefore have a lower resis-
tance. In contrast, bones and fat tissue have low conductivity as the fat cells and bones are barely able to
conduct the current due to very high levels of resistance.
Please note that the values calculated by the diagnostic bathroom scale only represent an approxima-
tion of the actual medical analytical values for the body. Only a specialist doctor can precisely establish
the body fat, body water, muscle percentage and bone structure using medical methods (e.g. computer
tomography).
