How the Body Fat Monitor
Works
When you step on the scale, a weight
measurement is taken. The GR101 can
also help you to automatically calculate
your Body mass index (BMI) and Body
Fat Percentage, two internationally
accepted indicators of health and obesity
levels.
Weight alone is not a good enough
indicator of health because it does not
differentiate between muscles, tissues,
bones, and fat. As such, when a person
loses weight, it may be a result of the
loss of muscles or body water but not fat.
In order to better understand your body
composition and current health level, both
the BMI and Body Fat Percentage should
be observed.
Neither the BMI nor the Body Fat
Percentage, taken individually, gives
the complete picture of your health. For
example, bodybuilders often have high
BMI (considered obese) but low Body
Fat Percentage (considered healthy).
The BMI, in this case, does not take
into account that the extra weight is
from muscles and water but not fat.
Conversely, a very thin person may have
low Body Fat Percentage (considered
healthy) but also lower-than-accepted
BMI (considered unhealthy). This means
that the person is still at risk health-wise,
despite the low Body Fat Percentage.
NOTE
Consult your physician before you
begin a new diet or exercise program.
NOTE
BMI should not be used as a guideline
for health risks for the following groups:
Group Reason
Children /
teenagers
BMI ranges are only
based on adult heights.
Athletes
and body-
builders
BMI does not
differentiate between
fat and muscle, thus
making it inaccurate
for persons with high
muscle volumes.
Pregnant
or nursing
women
This group generates
naturally high fat
reserves as part of the
pregnancy.
People over
the age of
65
Fat reserves naturally
tend to be higher with
older persons.
BODY MASS INDEX
What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?
Body mass index (BMI) is a widely used
international standard that measures
height-to-weight ratio to determine
obesity. BMI is calculated using the
following:
BMI = Body weight (kg)
[Body height (m)]
2
NOTE
Refer to WEIGHT CONVERSION
TABLE to convert between weight units.
The BMI is only a general indicator of
your health level. As such, accuracies
may vary depending on your body type
and composition. Consult your physician
to fi nd out more about your current health.
How to Interpret BMI
Use the resulting BMI value with the chart
below to determine your current level of
health:
NOTE
The time information will be erased
when the RESET hole is pressed on the
Remote Monitor. All other values, such as
date and month, will not be affected.
