If batteries are swallowed, immediately contact a doctor.

BODY COMPOSITION

The body composition is made up of:

• lean mass: all components without fat (water, muscle, connective tissue, and other non-fatty organic

components), bone, muscles, bowels, water, organs, and blood;

• fatty mass: all fats that can be extracted from adipose tissue and other tissues/organs;

• bone mass.

Through the electrodes located on the platform, the scale sends a weak, low intensity electrical current that

passes through the body. The different masses respond differently to the current: lean mass provides less

resistance than the opposite.

This body resistance is called bioelectrical impedance. The relative percentage of the various body masses

varies based on gender, age, and physical stature.

Body fat %

The body fat percentage indicated in the table below represents the total fat that is calculated by adding

essential fat and storage fat.

Essential fat is necessary for various bodily functions. The percentage is 3% in men and 12% in women.

Storage fat gives energy, protects against physical trauma, and insulates the body to preserve heat.

These percentages vary with the age and gender of the individual as shown in the table below.

If the percentages indicated by the scale do not fall within the values indicated as "normal" in the

table, we recommend consulting with your family physician.

% of muscle mass (% of skeletal muscle)

There are three different types of muscle: smooth, striated skeletal, and striated cardiac.

Smooth muscle is made of smooth fibres. These are found in the walls of the digestive tract, respiratory tract

and genital tract and in the wall of the venous and arterial blood vessels.

Human striated skeletal muscle is in the skeletal and facial muscles.

Cardiac striated muscle is found in the heart. This scale calculates the % of skeletal muscle and smooth

muscle tissue in the body. On average, 40% of body mass is made up of skeletal muscle. Men usually have

more pronounced muscles than women and the percentage may increase in those who practice sports.

The percentage of muscle starts to decrease with age.

Water %

The % of water in the body differs based on gender: in healthy adult women it ranges from 45% to 60% while

in men it ranges from 50% to 65%.

The percentage of water is greater in childhood and decreases with age.

Body weight variations can occur in a short period of time (hours), a medium period of time (days) or over a

long period (weeks).

Small variations in weight over a few hours is normal and due to water retention since extracellular water

(which includes the interstitial fluid, plasma, lymph and transcellular fluid) is the only part capable of varying

so rapidly.

When weight losses occur in just a few days, it is very likely that it is part of the total water.

Basal metabolic rate

The Basal Metabolic Rate, or BMR, is the minimum calories required for the human body to survive, in order

to carry out basic functions such as circulation, breathing, digestion, and maintaining body temperature. BMR

is calculated on a person when at physical and mental rest, lying down on their back, having not eaten for

12 hours, after at least 8 hours' sleep and with a constant body temperature of 20°C. Adult BMR varies from

1200 to 1800 kcal.

BMR is influenced by several factors: age, gender, height, body composition, fever / stress, nutritional state

and ambient temperature.

Considerations

When assessing your body composition trend, it is necessary to keep the following in mind:

• A decrease in weight accompanied by no change in body fat or even an increase in body fat means that

your body only lost water (for example, after exercising, time in the sauna or a limited diet for rapid weight

loss).

• An increase in weight accompanied by a decrease or no change in body fat indicates the development of

muscle mass.

• When the weight and body fat decrease at the same time it means that your diet is working and volume is

being lost.
