Weighing tips:
•Body analysis should be carried out bare foot. Make sure your feet are slightly moistened
or damp. Dry feet can lead to false results since the electrical conductivity is poor.
•During the measuring process, always stand still and do not hold or lean on any object.
•Do not weigh yourself directly after physical exertion.
•Do not weigh yourself immediately after standing up. Wait for approximately 15 minutes
until the water in your body has been distributed evenly.
•To get a precise information, repeat the weighing process to obtain comparable values.
More abo t fat val es in body:
The proportion of body fat gives the amount of fat as a percentage of the total weight of the
body. A blanket recommendation for this value does not exist, since this depends significantly on
sex (because of different physiques) and age. Body fat is vital for day to day body function. It
protects organs, cushions joint, regulates body temperature, stores vitamins, and serves the
body as an energy store. For women, a body fat proportion between 10% and 13% is essential;
for men, between 2% and 5% with the exception of competitive sportsmen.
The proportion of body fat is not an unambiguous indicator of health. Excessive body weight
and a too high proportion of body fat are being linked with the appearance of many diseases of
affluence such as diabetes, cardiovascular illnesses, etc.
Physical inactivity and poor diet often trigger off these diseases. There is a clear causal
connection between excess weight and physical inactivity.
