2. Measuring of Body Fat Percentage
(%BF):
%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 few years that the estimation
of body fat using BIA technology was
successfully offered to the consumers as
a compact bathroom scale.
With the 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 through
the body is called electrical impedance.
Hence, by measuring the electrical
impedance and applying to the data a
proprietary algorithm, %BF can be
estimated.
Please be reminded that the %BF
estimated with the scale represents only
a good approximation of your actual
body fat. There exist clinical methods of
estimating body fat that can be ordered
by your physician.
3.The Importance of Monitoring Total
Body Water Percentage in the Body
( %TBW)
Water is an essential component of the
body and its level is one of the health-
indicators. Water makes up approximately
between 50-70% of the body's weight. It is
present proportionally more in lean tissue
compared to fat tissue. Water is a medium
for biochemical reactions that regulate body
functions. Waste products are carried in
water from cells for excretion in urine and
sweat. Water provides form to cells; helps
to maintain body temperature; provides
moisture to skin and mucosa; cushions vital
organs; lubricates joints and is a component
of many body fluids. The amount of water
in the body fluctuates with the hydration
level of the body and state of health.
Monitoring the level of body water can be
a useful tool for one's health maintenance.
Similar to body fat estimation, the %TBW
function provided in this scale is based on
BIA.
The estimated %TBW may vary according
to your hydration level, that is, how much
water you have drunk or how much you
have sweated immediately prior to the
measurement. For better accuracy, avoid
fluctuation in hydration level prior to the
measurement. The accuracy of the scale
in estimating TBW will also decrease with
individuals suffering from diseases that
tend to accumulate water in the body.
