INTRODUCTION

How Taylor's Body Fat Analyzer and Scale Works:

This instrument uses BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis). BIA is one of the most accurate methods of measuring body fat. It simply sends a harm- less signal through the fat and muscle in your body. This method calculates both your personal weight and body fat simultaneously, thus giving you a more accurate reading of your overall health and fitness.

NOTE: This instrument is a personal monitor and should be used in a con- sistent manner for the most accurate reading. While readings might vary between this analyzer and other methods of measurement (hydrodensitome- try or hand held calipers), your changes in body fat percentage shown by this instrument will be reflected accurately.

While this analyzer will work accurately as a scale for anyone and give accu- rate body fat readings for a majority of people, it is not intended for use by pregnant women or children under the age of 18. (See Caution)

Ideal body fat/body water content is not the same for all people. Age, sex, and heredity are variables in this measurement.

Consult your physician to determine what levels are most ideal for you.

Why is it important to monitor Total Body Water percentage (%TBW)? Water makes up approximately 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. For better accuracy, avoid fluctuation in hydration level prior to the measurement. The accuracy of the scale in estimating %TBW will also decrease with individuals suffer- ing from diseases that tend to accumulate water in the body. The optimal %TBW of an individual varies according to age and gender.

Please note that body fat contains some body water weight. Thus, body fat and body water percentages will not add up to 100%.
