Measurements
The Garmin Index smart scale uses bioelectrical impedance to
calculate your body composition. The device sends a small
amount of electrical current (which you will not feel) from one
foot through your body to the other foot. The device measures
the electrical signal after it passes through your body to estimate
aspects of your body composition.
For best accuracy, ensure you use the device under the same
circumstances and at approximately the same time of day each
time you use the device. Activities that temporarily impact your
body's weight, hydration, and distribution of water can impact
the accuracy of measurements.
Garmin recommends waiting two hours before using the device
after eating, drinking, exercising, bathing, or visiting a sauna.
Body Mass Index (BMI) : Body mass index is your weight in
kilograms divided by your height in meters squared. BMI is
often used to estimate if a person is underweight or
overweight.
Muscle Mass : Muscle mass is the total amount of mass
attributed to muscle. It is measured in pounds, kilograms, or
stones and pounds.
Bone Mass : Bone mass is the total amount of mass attributed
to bone. It is measured in pounds, kilograms, or stones and
pounds.
Body Fat Percentage : Body fat percentage is the percentage of
total mass attributed to fat, including essential fat and storage
body fat. Essential body fat is required for basic health.
Water Percentage : Water percentage is the percentage of total
mass attributed to fluid. This measurement can be used to
indicate your level of hydration.
