TAKING WEIGHT AND BODY FAT READINGS
UNDERSTANDING YOUR READING
Healthy Range Indicator (Standard Adults only*)
Your body fat monitor/scale automatically compares your body fat reading to
the Healthy Body Fat Range chart.
Following your body fat percentage reading, a black bar will flash along the
bottom of the display, identifying where you fall within the Body Fat Ranges
for your age and gender. For example, if the squares appear above (0) area
your range is within the Healthy Range – if they appear over (-) area, your
reading is below the Healthy Range. For more about the Healthy Range, see
page 2.
(-) :
Underfat; below the healthy body fat range. Increased risk for health problems.
(0) :
Healthy; within the healthy body fat percentage range for your age/gender.
(+) : Overfat; above the healthy range. Increased risk for health problems.
(++) : Obese; high above the healthy body fat range. Greatly increased risk
of obesity-related health problems.
