The term “body composition” is used to describe the
percentage of body fat, muscle, water and bone in
human bodies. It is a key metric for overall health and
wellness and provides a more accurate assessment than
weight alone.
QardioBase X measures body fat %, bone %, water %,
Metabolic Age, BMR (Basal metabolic rate),
Subcutaneous Fat %, Visceral Fat %, Skeletal Muscle,
Muscle Mass, Bone Mass, Protein %, Fat-free Body
Weight.
Body fat % is the measure of fat in your body. Knowing
your body composition helps assess health risks related
to weight such as blood pressure, diabetes and heart
disease.
QardioBase X measures body mass using bio-
impedance analysis (BIA). A small and safe signal is sent
by the indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes on the top of
the scale and is analyzed to determine the impedance
of the body. Body composition is then calculated based
on the electrical impedance, weight and user
profile data.
It is recommended that pregnant women use
QardioBase in “Pregnancy Mode” or “Weight Only
Mode.”
Hydration levels in the body may affect body fat and
body composition readings. Since the body tends to be
dehydrated after a long night’s sleep, body
composition tends to show the highest level of % fat
and % muscle mass and the lowest % water upon
waking. Exercising before measurement will show a
higher % of muscle mass.
You should measure your body composition at the
same time of the day and under consistent conditions
in order to obtain the most reliable trend data.
