Minerals
Body minerals are contained primarily inside bone tissue and the bloodstream.
Weight
The MA601 has a precise built-in scale for weight measurement. During the measurement setup
process, users can correct for clothing weight manually.
Body Fat Mass
Body Fat Mass is calculated by subtracting Fat-Free Mass (FFM) from total body weight.
Muscle-Fat Analysis
The length of the black bar indicates the interpretation of the subject's values in comparison with
the reference population. If the length of the line falls within the colored area, the subject's values
are within normal range. If the length of the line falls to the left or right, then values are below and
above normal range.
Weight
Normal range for weight is calculated using Body Mass Index (BMI) standards.
NOTE: for subjects under the age of 18, standard adult BMI may not be as applicable, as children
have varying ranges and body shapes in growth. Physicians are recommended to consult
height-corrected BMI standards for children.
Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM)
Cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and skeletal muscle are the three major muscle types found in
the body. Skeletal muscle mass correlates with athletic performance, as it is under voluntary
control and used to power movement. In addition, it can be developed actively through proper
nutrition and training, thus making this value an important indicator for evaluation of fitness
progression. As there currently are no universal cut-off points for skeletal muscle mass, this value
is recommended for usage primarily in tracking change over a period of time.
Body Fat Mass (BFM)
This section places the calculated body fat mass value in comparison with normal range.
Body fat can be divided into subcutaneous fat (under the skin) and visceral fat (surrounding the
organs). An essential level of fat is required for the body to function, though excessive fat can
result in obesity-related diseases.
