1. What is bio-electrical body mass analysis?
Bio-electrical body mass analysis is the resistance created by the human body when an electric current passes
through it.
All body fat analysis bathroom scales work fundamentally on the same principle, which consists of measuring
the bio-electrical impedance of the human body, and combining it with the subject’s morphometric parameters
(height, weight, gender, age, etc.) so as to calculate his/her pre-supposed amount of body fat, based on clinical
measurements.
2. Why is it important to monitor percentage body fat (%BF)?
Weight is a useful indicator but not sufficient to monitor your health. Weight change in itself does not indicate
whether it was the weight of body fat or muscle that had changed. In weight management, it is desirable
that muscle mass be maintained while body fat is lost. Thus, monitoring the percentage fat of the body is an
important step toward successful weight management and body health.
The optimal %BF of an individual varies according to age and gender.
