3. Information on the diagnostic scale

The measuring principle of the diagnostic scale
This scale operates according to the B.I.A. principle (bioelectric impedance analysis). This enables
physical relationships to be measured within seconds by means of an undetectable, completely
harmless electric current. The body fat percentage and other physical relationships in the body can
be determined by measuring the electrical resistance (impedance), and the inclusion in a calcula-
tion of constants and individual parameters (age, height, gender, degree of activity).
Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, and therefore lower resistance.
Bones and fatty tissue, on the other hand, have low conductivity, as fat cells and bones conduct
hardly any current as a result of their very high resistance.
Please be aware that values obtained from the diagnostic scale represent only an approximation
of actual analytical medical data. Only a specialist physician can accurately determine body fat,
body water, muscle percentage and bone structure using medical procedures (e.g. computed
tomography).
