This scale is unsuitable for measuring body water in order to draw medical conclusions con-

cerning age-related water retention, for example. If necessary ask your physician. Basically, a

high body water percentage should be the aim.

Bone mass

Like the rest of our body, our bones are subject to the natural development, degeneration and

ageing processes. Bone mass increases rapidly in childhood and reaches its maximum be-

tween 30 and 40 years of age. Bone mass reduces slightly with increasing age. You can reduce

this degeneration somewhat with healthy nutrition (particularly calcium and vitamin D) and

regular exercise. With appropriate muscle building, you can also strengthen your bone struc-

ture. Note that this scale will not show you the calcium content of your bones, but will measure

the weight of all bone constituents (organic substances, inorganic substances and water). Little

inﬂ uence can be exerted on bone mass, but it will vary slightly within the inﬂ uencing factors

(weight, height, age, gender). no recognised guidelines or recommendations relating to bone

mass measurement.

Attention:

Please do not confuse bone mass with bone density.

Bone density can be determined only by means of a medical examination (e.g. com-

puter tomography, ultrasound). It is therefore not possible to draw conclusions con-

cerning changes to the bones and bone hardness (e.g. osteoporosis) using this scale.

Results in relation to time

Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term ﬂ uctuations in weight

over a few days are usually the result of a loss of ﬂ uid.

The interpretation of the results reﬂ ects changes in total body weight, percentage of body fat

and body water as well as muscle density, and takes into account the length of time over which

these changes take place. Sudden changes within days must be distinguished from medium

term changes (over weeks) and long term changes (months).

A basic rule is that short term changes in weight almost exclusively represent changes in

water content, whereas medium and long term changes may also involve the fat and muscle

percentages.

If your weight reduces over the short term, but your body fat percentage increases or re-•

mains the same, you have merely lost water – e.g. after a training session, sauna session or

a diet restricted only to rapid weight loss.

If your weight increases over the medium term and the body fat percentage falls or stays the •

same, then you could have built up valuable muscle mass.

If your weight and body fat percentage fall simultaneously then your diet is working – you are •

losing fat mass.

Ideally you should support your diet with physical activity, ﬁ tness or power training. This way •

you can increase your muscle percentage over the medium term.

Body fat, body water or muscle percentages should not be added (certain elements of •

muscle tissue also contain body water).

Replacing batteries10

The batteries in the scales must be replaced if the message “Lo” appears in the display. If the

batteries are too ﬂ at, then the scales will switch o automatically.
