BODY WATER -WHY MEASURE IT? Body water is the single most important
component of body weight. It represents over half of your total weight and almost
two thirds of your lean body mass (predominantly muscle). Water performs a
number of important roles in the body: All the cells in the body, whether in the skin,
glands, muscles, brain or anywhere else, can only function properly if they have
enough water. Water also plays a vital part in regulating the body’s temperature
balance, particularly through perspiration. The combination of your weight and fat
measurement could appear to be ‘normal’ but your body hydration level could be
insucient for healthy living.

For those using Athlete Mode: note that athletes may have a lower body fat range
and a higher body water range than shown above, depending on their type of sport
or activity. Body water measurement results are influenced by the proportion of body
fat and muscle. If the proportion of body fat is high, or the proportion of muscle is
low then the body water results will tend to be low. It is important to remember that
measurements such as body weight, body fat and body water are tools for you to use
as part of your healthy lifestyle. As short term fluctuations are normal, we suggest
you chart your progress over time, rather than focus on a single days reading.
The Body Water % ranges published are for guidance only. Professional medical
guidance should always be sought before embarking on diet and exercise
programmes.
WHY SHOULD I KNOW MY MUSCLE MASS? According to the American College of
Sports Medicine (ACSM), lean muscle mass may decrease by nearly 50 percent
between the ages of 20 and 90. If you don’t do anything to replace that loss you’re
losing muscle and increasing fat. It is also important to know your muscle mass
% during weight reduction. At rest, the body burns approximately 110 additional
calories for each kilo of muscle gained. Some advantages of gaining muscle mass
include:
• Reversing the decline in strength, bone density and muscle mass that
accompanies age
• Maintenance of flexible joints
• Guide weight reduction when combined with a healthy diet.
This product is for domestic use only. Pregnant women should only use the weight
function.
CAUTION : Do not use this product if you have a pacemaker or other medical device
fitted. If in doubt, consult your doctor.
WHAT DOES MY BMI VALUE MEAN? Body Mass Index (BMI) is an index of weight-
for-height that is commonly used to classify underweight, overweight and obesity in
adults. This scale calculates your BMI value for you. The BMI categories shown in the
chart and table below are recognised by the WHO (World Health Organisation) and
can be used to interpret your BMI value.
Your BMI category can be identified using the table below.
BMI Category BMI Value Meaning Health Risk Based Solely On BMI
< 18.5 UnderweighttModerate
18.6-24.9 Normal Low
25-29.9 Overweight Moderate
30+ Obese High
IMPORTANT: If the chart/table shows that you are outside of a ‘normal’ healthy
weight range, consult your doctor before taking any action. BMI classifications are for
adults (age 20+ years) only.
BASAL METABOLIC RATE (BMR) - WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Your Basal Metabolic Rate
(BMR) is an estimation of the energy (measured in calories) expended by the body, at
rest, to maintain normal body functions.This continual work makes up about 60-70%
of the calories the body uses, and includes the beating of your heart, respiration, and
the maintenance of body temperature.Your BMR is influenced by a number of factors,
including age, weight, height, gender, dieting and exercise habits.
BONE MASS -WHY MEASURE IT? Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help
maintain healthy bones. Like muscle, bone is a living tissue that can respond to
exercise by becoming stronger. For most people, bone mass peaks during their
thirties.After that time, we can begin to lose bone. Regular exercise can help prevent
that loss.
Calcium and vitamin D contribute to healthy bones. Good sources of these are dairy
products, green leafy vegetables and fish.
The bone mass readings given by this product are an estimation of the amount of
bone in your body. Those with osteoporosis or low bone densities may not get
accurate estimations. If you have concerns regarding your bones you should always
consult your doctor.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
How exactly is my body fat and water being measured?
This Salter Scale uses a measurement method known as Bioelectrical Impedance
Analysis (BIA). A minute current is sent through your body, via your feet and legs.
This current flows easily through the lean muscular tissue, which has a high fluid
content, but not easily through fat. Therefore, by measuring your body’s impedance
(i.e. its resistance to the current), the quantity of muscle can be determined. From
this, the quantity of fat and water can then be estimated.
What is the value of the current passing through me when the measurement is
taken? Is it safe?
The current is less than 1mA, which is tiny and perfectly safe. You will not be able
to feel it. Please note however, that this device should not be used by anyone with
an internal electronic medical device, such as a pacemaker, as a precaution against
disruption to that device.
If I measure my body fat and water at dierent times during the day, it can
vary quite considerably. Which value is correct?
Your body fat percentage reading varies with body water content, and the latter
changes throughout the course of the day. There is no right or wrong time of the day
to take a reading, but aim to take measurements at a regular time when you consider
your body to be normally hydrated. Avoid taking readings after having a bath or
sauna, following intensive exercise, or within 1-2 hours of drinking in quantity or
eating a meal.
My friend has a Body Fat Analyser made by another manufacturer.
When I used it I found that I got a dierent body fat reading. Why is this?
Dierent Body Fat Analysers take measurements around dierent parts of the body
and use dierent mathematic algorithms to calculate the percentage of body fat.
The best advice is to not make comparisons from one device to another, but to use
the same device each time to monitor any change.
How do I interpret my body fat and water percentage readings?
Please refer to the Body Fat and Water tables included with the product. They will
guide you as to whether your body fat and water reading falls into a healthy category
(relative to your age and sex).
What should I do if my body fat reading is very ‘high?
A sensible diet, fluid intake and exercise program can reduce your body fat
