■ Factors affecting readings

The analysis is based on a measurement of the
electrical body resistance. Eating and drinking
habits during the day and private lifestyles influence
the body’s fluid balance.
This is noticeable by fluctuations in the readings.
To obtain analysis results that are highly precise and
iterative, make sure that the measurement conditions
are constant. Only then will you be able to observe
changes precisely over a long period of time.

In addition, other factors may affect fluid
balance:

• After a bath the indicator will display a body
fat percentage that is too low and a body water
percentage that is too high

• After a meal the indicator may be higher

• Women are subject to fluctuations due to their
menstrual cycle

• Body fluids are lost due to illness or after bodily
exertion (sport) After sporting activity, you
should wait for a period of 6 to 8 hours before
taking the next measurement

Anomalous or implausible readings may occur
in the following situations:

• Persons with fever, oedema symptoms or
osteoporosis

• Persons undergoing dialysis therapy

• Persons taking cardiovascular medication

• Pregnant women

• Athletes who do more than 10 hours of intensive
training a week and have a resting heart rate
under 60 bpm

• Competitive athletes and body builders

• Young people under 17 years old
