REFERENCE INFROMATION
The evaluated body fat result is based on a standard measuring method. It is
calculated by a correlated formula developed on the basis of extensive scientific
studies. The hydration content in your lean muscle can affect the measuring result.
Individual habits and lifestyle will affect balance of hydration levels. Other factors
may affect balance of hydration level, such as:
a) After taking a bath the reading can be lower.
b) After a meal or drinking the reading can be higher.
c) During a ladies menstruation period the reading can be fluctuating/
inconsistent.
d) Loss of water due to illness or strenuous physical activities that cause
heavy
sweats and dehydration can make the reading lower.
