Bone mass

Like the rest of our body, our bones are subject to natural growth, shrinking and ageing processes. The

bone mass increases rapidly during childhood and reaches its peak between the ages of 30 and 40. As

we age, our bone mass then begins to reduce. You can combat this reduction to an extent with the help of

a healthy diet (particularly calcium and vitamin D) and regular physical exercise. The stability of the skel

eton can be further increased by means of targeted muscle build-up. Please note that this scale does not

identify the calcium content of the bones; instead, it calculates the weight of all the components that make

up the bones (organic matter, inorganic matter and water). It is very difficult to influence the bone mass,

although it does fluctuate within the scope of influencing factors (weight, height, age, gender). There are no

recognised guidelines or recommendations.

IMPORTANT:

Please do not confuse bone mass with bone density.

The bone density can only be determined by means of a medical examination (e.g. computer

tomography, ultrasound). It is therefore not possible to draw conclusions on changes to bones and

bone hardness (e.g. osteoporosis) using this scale.

BMR

The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy required by the body at complete rest in order to

maintain its basic functions (e.g. when lying in bed 24 hours a day). This value is primarily dependent on

weight, height and age.

It is displayed on the diagnostic scale in the unit kcal/day and calculated using the scientifically recog

nised Harris-Benedict equation.

This is the amount of energy that is required by your body under all circumstances and must be re-sup

plied to the body in the form of food. If your energy intake is below this level in the longer term, this can

result in damage to health.

AMR

The active metabolic rate (AMR) is the amount of energy that the active body consumes each day. An indi

vidual’s energy requirement increases when the level of physical activity increases; the diagnostic scale

calculates this by means of the activity level (1– 5) that has been entered.

To maintain the current weight, the energy that the body uses must be replaced in the form of food and

drink.

If less energy is taken in than is used over a long period of time, the body takes the difference from the fat

stores with resulting weight loss. However, if the amount of energy taken in exceeds the calculated active

metabolic rate (AMR) for a longer period, the body cannot burn off the excess energy. The excess is stored

in the body as fat, leading to weight gain.

Temporal context of the results

Please note that only the long-term trend is important. Brief deviations in weight within a few days

are normally caused by loss of fluids.
