EDUCATION INFORMATION
Before using the scale, you should know ...
1. Why is it important to monitor percentage body fat (%BF)?
The absolute weight traditionally determines whether or not a person is obese. Weight change in itself
does not indicate whether it was the weight of body fat or muscle that had changed. In weight
management, it is desirable that muscle mass be maintained while body fat is lost. Thus, monitoring the
percentage of fat in the body is an important step toward successful weight management and body
health.
2. How is percentage body fat (%BF) estimated?
The percentage of BF is measured by a method called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). The use of
BIA to estimate body fat has been pioneered since the seventies. It was only in the past decade that the
estimation of body fat using BIA technology was successfully offered to the consumer as a compact
bathroom scale. With BIA technology, a low intensity electrical signal is sent through the body. The
signal is very low and causes no bodily harm. Depending on the amount of body fat of the individual, the
electrical signal will flow with a different degree of difficulty. The difficulty with which a signal flows
