17. Information on Body Composition
Principle of body composition calculation
Body fat has low electric conductivity
HBF-702T measures the body fat percentage by the Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) method. Tissues with
more water content in human body tend to conduct electricity (such as muscle and vein) easily. Fat
tissue almost conducts no electricity. The body feature is used to calculate rate of fat tissue and non-fat
tissue.
Currency flowing through human body is very weak (50 kHz, 500 µA), which is not stimulant and is very
safe to human body.
In order to obtain body fat and other data from resistance between both hands and both feet, The five
items, i.e., (1) resistance value, (2) height, (3) weight, (4) age and (5) gender are required, which are
obtained in accordance with basic human data collected by the company independently.
Recommended measurement time period
Understanding the normal changes in your body fat percentage can help you in preventing or reducing
obesity. Being aware of the times when the body fat percentages shift within your own daily schedule will
assist you in obtaining an accurate trending of your body fat. It is recommended to use this unit in the
same environment and daily circumstances. (See chart)
Avoid Taking Measurements Under the Following Conditions:
-
Immediately after vigorous exercise, after a bath or sauna.
-
After drinking alcohol or a large amount of water, after a meal (about 2 hours).
If a measurement is taken under these physical conditions, the calculated body composition may differ
significantly from the actual one because the water content in the body is changing.
What is BMI (Body Mass Index)?
Abbreviations of the initials "B·M·I" of Body Mass Index (= physical index). It is an international standard
to determine obesity.
BMI uses the following simple formula to indicate the ratio between weight and height of a person.
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m) / height (m)
The OMRON HBF-702T uses the height information stored in your personal number or when entering
information in the Guest Mode to calculate your BMI classification.
If the fat level revealed by BMI is higher than the international standard, there is an increased likelihood
of common diseases. However, not all types of fat can be revealed by BMI.
