From a medical standpoint, the analytical 

results provided by the scale are only of an 

approximate nature. Only a medical special-

ist is capable of performing exact measure-

ments of the percentage of body fat, body 

water, muscle or bone mass using special 

medical instruments.

The scale uses very low voltage to measure your physi-

cal data. The voltage is transmitted through your body, 

that is, through the different parts of your body. In the 

process, the current encounters different resistances. 

Water and muscle tissue have a low resistance making 

them good conductors. Fat and bone are poor conduc-

tors and therefore exhibit a high resistance.
These resistances or impedances are measured and 

used to calculate the percentages of water, bone and 

muscle based on individual physical characteristics such 

as height, age and gender. This method of measure-

ment is known as the “bioelectric impedance analysis” 

(BIA).
