USEFUL INFORMATION

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.

NOTE: The body fat percentage measured by this unit may significantly differ from the actual body fat percentage in the following situations:

Children in growth stage

Elderly people

People with a fever

Body builders or highly trained athletes

Patients undergoing dialysis

Patients with osteoporosis who have very low bone density

Women who are pregnant

Post-menopausal women

People having swelling

Recommended Measurement Times

Understanding the normal changes in your body fat percentage can help you in preventing or reducing obesity. Being aware of the times when the body fat percentages shift within your own daily schedule will assist you in obtaining an accurate trending of your body fat.
