BODY WATER -WHY MEASURE IT? Body water is the single most important

component of body weight. It represents over half of your total weight and almost

two thirds of your lean body mass (predominantly muscle). Water performs a

number of important roles in the body: All the cells in the body, whether in the skin,

glands, muscles, brain or anywhere else, can only function properly if they have

enough water. Water also plays a vital part in regulating the body’s temperature

balance, particularly through perspiration. The combination of your weight and fat

measurement could appear to be ‘normal’ but your body hydration level could be

insucient for healthy living.

For those using Athlete Mode: note that athletes may have a lower body fat range

and a higher body water range than shown above, depending on their type of sport

or activity. Body water measurement results are influenced by the proportion of body

fat and muscle. If the proportion of body fat is high, or the proportion of muscle is

low then the body water results will tend to be low. It is important to remember that

measurements such as body weight, body fat and body water are tools for you to use

as part of your healthy lifestyle. As short term fluctuations are normal, we suggest

you chart your progress over time, rather than focus on a single days reading.

The Body Water % ranges published are for guidance only. Professional

medical guidance should always be sought before embarking on diet and

exercise programmes.

WHY SHOULD I KNOW MY MUSCLE MASS? According to the American College

of Sports Medicine (ASCM), lean muscle mass may decrease by nearly 50 percent

between the ages of 20 and 90. If you don’t do anything to replace that loss you’re

losing muscle and increasing fat. It is also important to know your muscle mass

% during weight reduction. At rest, the body burns approximately 110 additional

calories for each kilo of muscle gained. Some advantages of gaining muscle mass

include:

• Reversing the decline in strength, bone density and muscle mass that

accompanies age

• Maintenance of flexible joints

• Guide weight reduction when combined with a healthy diet.

This product is for domestic use only. Pregnant women should only use the weight

function.

CAUTION : Do not use this product if you have a pacemaker or other medical

device fitted. If in doubt, consult your doctor.

WHAT DOES MY BMI VALUE MEAN? Body Mass Index (BMI) is an index of weight-

for-height that is commonly used to classify underweight, overweight and obesity

in adults. This scale calculates your BMI value for you. The BMI categories shown in

the chart and table below are recognised bythe WHO (World Health Organisation) and

can be used to interpret your BMI value. Your BMI category can be identified using

the table below.

BMI Category BMI Value Meaning Health Risk Based Solely On BMI

< 18.5 Underweightt Moderate

18.6-24.9 Normal Low

25-29.9 Overweight Moderate

30+ Obese High

IMPORTANT: If the chart/table shows that you are outside of a ‘normal’ healthy

weight range, consult your doctor before taking any action. BMI classifications are for

adults (age 20+ years) only.
