ELECTRONIC PERSONAL SCALE WITH INDICATOR OF % OF FAT AND % OF WATER

A new electronic personal scale that allows to evaluate your body composition and to automatically

calculate the body fat and water percentage in function of your height, age and sex. The exact

knowledge of your body composition (calculation of lean body mass, fat body mass and total

body water contents), allows a correct estimate of the excess fat and at the same time determines

the advisable weight as a function of your nutritional condition.

Furthermore, the knowledge of your body composition allows to combine a correct nutrition and

physical activity as essential conditions to improve the quality of life, promote health and prevent

pathologies. It has a memory function with a 10-person capacity.

Capacity 180 kg / 396 lb / 28 st 4 lb, divisione

100 g / 0.1 lb / 0.1 lb (< 10 st) 1 lb (> 10 st)

Warning!

• The body fat and water percentage is to be considered only as approximate

information.

For any further information, please consult your physician or dietician.

• Self-measuring means control, it does not mean diagnosis or treatment.

Any unusual levels should always be discussed with your doctor.

Under no circumstances must you change the dose of medicines prescribed by

your Doctor.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO CAREFULLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN

THIS BOOKLET BEFORE USE AND TO KEEP THE BOOKLET IN A SAFE PLACE.

BODY COMPOSITION

It is important to know the body composition of an individual in order to be able to estimate his/

her health condition.

Actually, it is not enough to know one’s weight but it is necessary to define its quality, which

means dividing the human body in its two major component masses:

• lean body mass: bones, muscles, viscera, water, organs, blood;

• fat body mass: adipose cells.

Under the same conditions of weight, these two masses have different volumes.

By means of electrodes placed on the platform, the scale sends a weak low intensity electric current

that passes through the body mass. The electric current reacts in a different way according to

the masses it passes through: the lean body mass opposes a weak resistance, while the fat body

mass has a greater resistance.

This body resistance, called bioelectrical impedance, varies also in function of sex, age and

height.

For a correct control of one’s ideal weight, it is important, besides the weight, to compare the

body fat percentage calculated by the scale, with the parameters contained in the table and the

body water percentage, with the information listed hereinafter.

If the percentages are outside the normal values, we suggest you to consult your

doctor.

In order to better understand the value of your body fat percentage, we suggest you write down

this value for a given period of time. In order to obtain a valid comparison, you should weigh

yourself always at the same time of the day and under the same conditions. The best moment to

weigh yourself is in the morning, before breakfast, without clothes. You have to wait 15 minutes

after getting up, so that the water get distributed itself throughout the body.

Body fat mass percentage

The percentage of fat listed in the following table, represents the total fat, calculated by summing

up the essential fat (or primary fat) and the spare fat (or storage fat). The essential fat is necessary

since it is needed for the metabolism. The percentage of this fat is different between the two

sexes: about 4% for men and about 12% for women (percentage calculated on the total body

weight). The spare fat, which is theoretically superfluous, is necessary in a minimum quantity

for a healthy condition, especially for those who carry out physical activities. Even in this case,

the fat percentage is different between the two sexes: 12% for men, 15% for women (percentage

calculated on the total body weight). Therefore, the normal percentage of fat mass on the body

weight is approximately 16% for men and 27% for women. Such percentages differ with the

person’s age as shown in the table here below.

Water percentage

Water is the main component of lean body mass; the water percentage over the fat body mass is

73%. The lean body mass is obtained by subtracting from the total weight the fat body mass (for
