Introduction

The US Surgeon General estimates that one-fourth of adult Americans are overweight. Obesity (having an abnormally high proportion of body fat) is a known risk factor for such health hazards as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and some forms of cancer. In the U.S. alone, approximately 280,000 adult deaths are attributed to obesity!

The Health o meter® Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale can help you in achieving your physical best by providing two critical measurement estimates: BODY FAT COMPOSITION and

BODY WEIGHT.

INDICATIONS FOR USE: The Health o meter® Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale is intended for the estimation of percent body fat and body weight.

Body Fat Composition: What Does It Mean?

Simply speaking, your body is made up of lean mass and fat mass. Lean mass consists of muscle, bones, organs, etc. Fat mass is body fat. While everyone needs a certain amount of fat to assist the body in storing energy, providing heat insulation and other functions, most people will find they are at their most fit when they increase their lean mass and decrease their fat mass.

While standard scales are useful in providing a measurement of overall weight, they do not calculate the percentage of fat within the body. However, the Health o meter® Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale allows the user to monitor both of these important health factors.

Body Fat Composition: How Is It Estimated?

The Health o meter® Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale uses a technique called Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA). A harmless amount of bioelectric current is sent from the footpads through the body. The current travels at different speeds through lean and fat body masses. The Health o meter® Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale’s microprocessor analyzes the degree of impedance, or transmission speed.

Taking into consideration the user’s height, age, gender and weight, the Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale calculates the com- position of the body. The percentage of the body that is com- posed of fat is displayed on the monitor —”body fat percentage.”

BFM950 specifications

The Health O Meter BFM950 is a state-of-the-art body fat monitor and scale designed for health-conscious individuals looking to track their fitness progress and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Combining advanced technology with user-friendly features, this device stands out as a reliable tool for home use.

One of the key features of the BFM950 is its ability to measure body fat percentage accurately. Utilizing bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology, the scale sends a low-level electrical current through the body. By analyzing the resistance encountered by the current, the device can determine the amount of fat relative to total body mass. This provides users with a clearer picture of their body composition beyond just weight.

In addition to body fat measurement, the Health O Meter BFM950 also tracks other vital metrics such as body water percentage, muscle mass, and bone mass. By offering a comprehensive analysis of body composition, individuals can make more informed decisions regarding their fitness and dietary habits.

The BFM950 is equipped with a large, easy-to-read display that ensures users can effortlessly view their measurements. The platform is designed for stability and comfort, accommodating a wide range of users. With a weight capacity of up to 400 pounds, this scale is a practical tool for most individuals.

This scale also features a memory function, allowing multiple users to store their data securely. It can accommodate up to four different profiles, making it ideal for families or shared living spaces. Each user can track their progress over time, contributing to a personalized experience that encourages accountability.

Another noteworthy aspect of the Health O Meter BFM950 is its sleek and modern design. With a glass platform and a minimalist aesthetic, it fits seamlessly into any bathroom or fitness area without compromising style.

Lastly, the BFM950 is battery operated, providing convenience and portability. It comes with a long-lasting battery that ensures users can rely on its functionality without frequent replacements.

In summary, the Health O Meter BFM950 is a sophisticated body fat monitor and scale that offers essential features like bioelectrical impedance analysis, multiple user profiles, and a sleek design. This device not only tracks weight but also provides valuable insights into body composition, making it an indispensable tool for anyone serious about their health and fitness journey.
