What You Should Know When Using This Unit

Skeletal Muscle Percentage: This is based on MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) analysis, which uses nuclear magnetic resonance that take non-intrusive images of the body. This makes it possible to calculate the amount of skeletal muscle in the body.

The reason calculated results may differ from actual body fat percentage

There are certain conditions, such as with dialysis patients, when significant differences may occur between the estimated and actual body fat values.

These differences may be related to changing ratios of body fluid and/or body composition.
