QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

How exactly is my body fat and water being measured?

The Taylor Body Analyzer Scale uses a measurement method known as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). A minute current is sent through your body, via your feet and legs. This current flows easily through the lean muscular tissue, which has a high fluid content, but not easily through fat. Therefore, by measuring your body’s impedance (i.e. its resistance to the cur- rent), the quantity of muscle can be determined. From this, the quantity of fat and water can then be estimated.

What is the value of the current passing through me when the meas- urement is taken? Is it safe?

The current is less than 1mA, which is tiny and perfectly safe. You will not be able to feel it. Please note however, that this device should not be used by anyone with an internal electronic medical device, such as a pacemaker, as a precaution against disruption to that device.

If I measure my body fat and water at different times during the day, it can vary quite considerably. Which value is correct?

Your body fat percentage reading varies with body water content, and the latter changes throughout the course of the day. There is no right or wrong time of the day to take a reading, but aim to take measurements at a regular time when you consider your body to be normally hydrated. Avoid taking readings after having a bath or sauna, following intensive exercise, or within 1-2 hours of drinking in quantity or eating a meal.

My friend has a Body Fat Analyzer made by another manufacturer. When I used it I found that I got a different body fat reading to that on my Taylor Body Analyzer Scale. Why is this?

Different Body Fat Analyzers take measurements around different parts of the body and use different mathematic algorithms to calculate the percent- age of body fat.The best advice is to not make comparisons from one device to another, but to use the same device each time to monitor any change.
