Fitness Scale 7850.02 – Evaluation of readings

The Fitness Scale 7850 calculates the actual state of your weight, body fat, fluids and muscle percentage from your personal data. Please remember that your muscles also contain body fluids that are already taken into account in the body fluid analysis. For this reason, the total calculation always includes a value over 100%.

■Body weight

Body weight is printed in kg “with" and “without" clothing. Based on the body weight measured, the fitness scale calculates your personal BMI value.

The Body-Mass-Index is a measuring indicator for the evaluation of the body weight of a human be- ing. Since overwheight represents an increasing problem worldwide, the body mass is particularly used to point towards an exposure. The BMI only indicates a gross guide value and is contentious since it does not take into consideration the statue of a person and the natural individual different com- position of the body weight from fat and muscles. BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure to assess a person's weight.

You distinguish between the categories "under- weight", "normal weight", "slightly overweight", "overweight" and "very overweight".

The BMI value is calculated as follows:

body mass (kg)

BMI =

body size (m) x body size (m)

The weight is the body weight in kilogram and the height is indicated in meter. Values of persons with a normal weight have a BMI between 18.50 kg/m² and 24.99 kg/m² according to the adiposity classifi- cation of the WHO. Starting from a BMI of 30 kg/m² and above refers to people with overwheight that require treatment.
