EDUCATION INFORMATION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW BEFORE USING YOUR BODY FAT SCALE

Before using the scale, you should know...

1. Why is it important to monitor percentage body fat (%BF)?

The absolute weight traditionally determines whether or not a person is obese. 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 of fat in 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. The tables below may be used as a guide:

> 31 >32 >33 >34 >35

2. How is percentage body fat (%BF) estimated?

The percentage of BF is measured by a method called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). The use of BIA to estimate body fat has been pioneered since the seventies. It was only in the past decade that the estimation of body fat using BIA technology was successfully offered to the consumer as a compact bathroom scale. With BIA technology, a low intensity electrical signal is sent through the body. The signal is very low and causes no bodily harm. Depending on the amount of body fat of the individual, the electrical signal will flow with a different degree of difficulty. The difficulty with which a signal flows through the body is called electrical impedance. Hence, by measuring the electrical impedance and applying to the data a proprietary algorithm, %BF can be estimated. Please note that the percentage of body fat and body water will not add up to 100%.

Please be reminded that the %BF estimated with the scale represents only a good approximation of your actual body fat. There exist clinical methods of estimating body fat that can be ordered by your physician.

0044-M380-O1 Rev A y ProDoc BFA Series

3. Why is it important to monitor percentage Total Body Water (%TBW) in the body?

Water is an essential component of the body and its level is one of the health indicators. Water makes up approximately between 50-70% of the body's weight. It is present proportionally more in lean tissue compared to fat tissue. Water is a medium for biochemical reactions that regulate body functions. Waste products are carried in water from cells for excretion in urine and sweat. Water provides form to cells; helps to maintain body temperature; provides moisture to skin and mucosa; cushions vital organs; lubricates joints and is a component of many body fluids. The amount of water in the body fluctuates with the hydration level of the body and state of health. Monitoring the level of body water can be a useful tool for one's health maintenance. Similar to body fat estimation, the %TBW function provided in this scale is based on BIA.

The estimated %TBW may vary according to your hydration level, that is, how much water you have drunk or how much you have sweated immediately prior to the estimation. For better accuracy, avoid fluctuation in hydration level prior to the estimation. The accuracy of the scale in estimating TBW will also decrease with individuals suffering from diseases that tend to accumulate water in the body.

The optimal %TBW of an individual varies according to age and gender. The table below may be used as a guide:

(Source: University of Illinois Medical Center, Chicago, USA)

%BF Range Optimal % TBW Range

4 to 14% 70 to 63%

Men

15 to 21% 63 to 57%

22 to 24% 57 to 55%

25% and over 55 to 37%

4 to 20% 70 to 58%

Women

21 to 29% 58 to 52%

30 to 32% 52 to 49%

33% and over 49 to 37%

Please be reminded that the %TBW estimated with the scale represents only a good approximation of your TBW. There exist clinical methods of estimating total body water that can be ordered by your physician.

4. When should I use the scale’s body fat and total body water functions?

For maximum accuracy and repeatability, it is recommended that the scale's body fat and total body water functions be used at approximately the same time of the day, e.g. before breakfast in the morning. It is also a good practice to avoid swings in hydration level of the body prior to the measurement. Establishing your own baseline value of %BF and %TBW and track their changes is better than merely comparing your %BF and %TBW value to the population's normal value.

5. Why is the Athlete Mode necessary in a Body Fat Analyzer?

It has been found that body fat estimation using BIA could overestimate the percentage body fat of adult elite athletes. The physiological variation of athletes in bone density and level of hydration are two of the reasons said to account for the difference.

The Athlete mode is selectable only for adults of 15 years of age or older.

0044-M380-O1 Rev A y ProDoc BFA Series

6. Definition of an Athlete

The general consensus among researchers is that a quantitative dimension could be used in defining an athlete. For example, an athlete could be defined as a person who consistently trains a minimum of three times per week for two hours each time, in order to improve specific skills required in the performance of their specific sport and/or activity.

7. What is Muscle Mass? Our Body Fat Scale estimates the weight of Skeletal Muscle Mass in your body.

You’ve got around 650 muscles in your body, and they make up roughly half of your body weight. These muscles can be divided into three different groups: Skeletal, Smooth and Cardiac. All of these muscles can stretch and contract, but they perform very different functions.

Skeletal muscle: Produces movement, maintains posture, stabilizes joints and generates heat

Smooth muscle: Found in the walls of hollow organs

Cardiac muscle: Exists only in your heart

Skeletal muscle (SM)

The tissue most commonly thought of as muscle is skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles cover your skeleton, giving your body its shape. They are attached to your skeleton by strong, springy tendons or are directly connected to rough patches of bone. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control, which means you consciously control what they do. Just about all body movement, from walking to nodding your head, is caused by skeletal muscle contraction. Your skeletal muscles function almost continuously to maintain your posture, making one tiny adjustment after another to keep your body upright. Skeletal muscle is also important for holding your bones in the correct position and prevents your joints from dislocating. Some skeletal muscles in your face are directly attached to your skin. The slightest contraction of one of these muscles changes your facial expression.

Skeletal muscle generates heat as a by-product of muscle activity. This heat is vital for maintaining your normal body temperature.

Skeletal muscle represents approximately 30% of body weight of a healthy 58 kg woman or 40% of a 70 kg man. (International Commission on Radiological Protection, 1975)

8. What is Bone Mass?

Our Body Fat Scale estimates the weight of non-living bone mineral content. This is important for monitoring and maintaining healthy bones through exercise and calcium-rich diet.

An adult skeleton is made up of 206 bones, which come in several different shapes and sizes and have specific structure.

Your bones contain blood vessels, nerve cells and living bone cells known as osteocytes. These are held together by a framework of hard, non-living material containing calcium and phosphorous. A thin membrane called the periosteum covers the surface of your bones.

Bone Mineral Content differs according to age and sex.

For Adults: The average bone mineral content of 15-29 year old female is approximately 2.7 kg, for a 15-29 year old male is approximately between 2.7 and 3.5 kg. (Rico et al. 1993)

For Children: The average bone mineral content of 8-16 year old child is approximately between 0.8 and 2.2 kg. (Faulkner et al. 1993)

9. What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?

BMI is a ratio of a person’s weight to height. BMI is commonly used to classify weight as “healthy” or “unhealthy”.

European version (BMI for adult 19-99 of age):

BMI Classification

30 and over Obese

25 -29.9 Overweight

Placing the Scale

Place the scale on a flat, level floor or low cut carpet away from any rapidly moving air source (heating and cooling vents).

Check to make certain the scale is level. The level indicator is located at the rear of the scale. If the scale is not level (the bubble will not be centered), loosen the locking ring on all four (4) feet and adjust them as required to center the bubble and attain a level scale. Once the scale is level, lock the feet in place by tightening the adjustment locking rings against the bottom of the scale.

IMPORTANT! Any time a scale is moved or re-located, be sure to check the level bubble to make sure the scale is level before using.

Placing the Display

The PD150 display has an 87” (220 cm) cable to allow it to be placed at a convenient position away from the scale base. A bracket is included to mount the display on a wall or the bracket (and included feet) can used to place it on a desk for easy viewing.

Wall Mounting

1. Choose the location to mount the display on the wall. The location should be free of

temperature extremes and water. It should be where the display can be easily viewed,

not subject to direct sunlight and where the keypad is within easy reach of the operator.

2. Make certain the structure and mounting hardware are of sufficient strength to support the

display. The mounting bracket should be securely fastened to the wall so that it cannot

break loose from the mounting surface.

3. Referring to Figure No. 1 and using Wall Bracket “B” for a template, place the bracket

against the wall (the notch (arrow) pointing up) and mark the holes to use to mount it.

Remove the bracket and drill two (2) 13/64” (5 mm) holes in the wall for the mounting wall
