RECOMMENDATIONS
•
Weigh yourself at one and the same time of the day.
•
We recommend measuring the percentage of fat
and water in the evening before evening meal.
•
2-3 hours should pass after last meal.
•
At least 10-12 hours should pass after intensive
physical exercises.
•
Percentage of fat in the body depends on different
factors and can change during the day.
•
When calculating percentage of fat and water of
children younger than 10 years the results may be
inaccurate.
•
Professional sportsmen, people inclined to edemas
and people with nonstandard body proportions can
show inaccurate results of calculation of fat and
water percentage.
Note : Fat and water percentage data can be calculated
only if personal data (sex, age, height) are entered cor-
rectly and only if you step on the scale with bare feet.
Change of fat percentage in a human body during
the day
The indications of fat percentage in a human body are
affected by such factors as lifestyle, physical load,
health condition and also water percentage in the body.
–
You should take into account the following factors:
–
The fat percentage indications may be less if mea-
sured after taking a bath or a shower.
–
The fat percentage indications may be higher if
measured after having meal or drinking.
–
Percentage of liquid in a human body may decrease
and thus change the fat percentage indications dur-
ing and after illness and after physical exercises.
Water percentage in a human body
Water percentage in a human organism is the amount of
liquid in the human body in percent to total weight. Water
has primary importance for human tissues and organs,
since 50-65% of our body consist of water. With this
scale you can control the percentage of water in your
body and correct this important characteristic.
Temporary connection of the results
Pay attention to the fact that all results of calculations
and simple weight measurements will be significant only
