3. Information on the diagnostic scale

The measuring principle of the diagnostic scale

This scale operates according to the B.I.A. principle (bioelectric impedance analysis). This enables physical

relationships to be measured within seconds by means of an undetectable, completely harmless electric

current. The body fat percentage and other physical relationships in the body can be determined by mea-

suringtheelectricalresistance(impedance),andtheinclusioninacalculationofconstantsandindividual

parameters(age,height,gender,degreeofactivity).

Muscletissueandwaterhavegoodelectricalconductivity,andthereforelowerresistance.

Bonesandfattytissue,ontheotherhand,havelowconductivity,asfatcellsandbonesconducthardlyany

currentasaresultoftheirveryhighresistance.

Pleasebeawarethatvaluesobtainedfromthediagnosticscalerepresentonlyanapproximationofactual

analytical medical data. Only a specialist physician can accurately determine body fat, body water, muscle

percentage and bone structure using medical procedures (e.g. computed tomography).

General tips

– If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning), after using the toi-

let,onanemptystomachandunclothed,inordertoachievecomparableresults.

– Important for the measurement: body fat can only be measured when barefoot and with the soles of the

feetslightlymoist.Completelydrysolescanresultinunsatisfactorymeasurementsduetoinadequate

conductivity.

– Stand still during the measurement.

– Waitafewhoursafterunaccustomedstrenuousactivity.

– Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up in the morning to allow the water in the body to distribute.

Limitations

Whenmeasuringbodyfatandothervalues,deviatingandimplausibleresultsmayoccurin:

– children under approx. 10 years,

– competitiveathletesandbodybuilders,

– pregnant women,

– personswithfever,undergoingdialysistreatmentorwithsymptomsofedemaorosteoporosis,

– personstakingcardiovascularmedication,

– personstakingvasculardilatingorvascularconstrictingmedication,

– personswithconsiderableanatomicdeviationsofthelegsinrelationtototalbodysize(lengthofthe

legs considerably shortened or lengthened).
