Suitable for adults and children aged 10 or over.
If you have any doubt about the use of this product, please consult your physician.
The water and body fat analyzer is conceived to indicate precisely the weight, as well as the fat
and water level.
The scale has electrodes measuring the body electric resistance (muscles offer less resistance
than fat, and that can be correlated with the body weight.
The integrated computer calculates the body fat percentage thanks to the age, sex and height.
This method is quick, sure and accurate and gives a result within 30 seconds.
The scale has a memory for 8 persons at most, which allows the whole family to use it without
having to re-enter all data at every use.
WHY IS MEASURING OF BODY FAT SO IMPORTANT ?
For years, obesity has been defined as the presence of superfluous « body fat ».
It is not a matter of sheer body weight. Some people have a strong proportion of fat balanced with
muscular mass, and some slim people experience a large increase of body fat.
The « body fat » is an important part of the human body and it deals with a certain number of
essential tasks : protecting our joints, storing vitamins, regulating our body temperature…
However, fat may contribute to many stress for the human body, (particularly for the
cardiovascular system) and may also lead to diabetes.
The goal is not only to reduce fat as much as possible, but rather to reach and maintain a good
rate between muscular mass and body fat.
Therefore, the control of these two levels, weight and fat, is a fundamental requirement for a good
physical condition and good health.
