BMI
The technology used in these scales, Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is more
technologically advanced than the order Body Mass Index (BMI) method where fat % is
calculated using only height and weight. BIA technology uses 5 parameters to get a more
accurate resolution for the analysis (weight and biological resistance which are automatically
measured by the scales together with the three personal parameters entered manually - sex,
height and age). This index sets mutual ratio between the body weight and height.
It can be used to determine whether the person suffers from underweight, overweight or obesity
or whether his/her health condition is normal. Also with regards to heart and vascular diseases,
body mass index is a relatively good risk index, particularly in healthy people. However, the
index is for reference only. Experts recommend supplementing the calculation by at least
measuring the waist, which makes determining disposition of the body fat more precise. BMI
will not provide very reliable information for small children, elderly people and active sportsmen
who have a lot of muscle mass as their results can be biased.

Optimum energy consumption KCAL
It represents optimum amount of energy consumption necessary for maintaining the basic
vital functions and balanced metabolism. The data on the display show the optimum daily
consumption of energy that you give out at your weight, height, age and gender. You should
also take in this amount of energy to keep your metabolism balanced. If you intend to reduce
your weight, your daily energy intake should be a bit lower. However, remember to keep
carbohydrates, fats and proteins balanced in your diet.
1) This scale requires you to weigh yourself barefoot for the reason of correct conductivity
during the body fat analysis.
2) Do not place the scale on an uneven surface or a surface covered with a carpet.
3) Do not use the fat analysis feature on this scale if you are using one of the
following devices: pace maker, electrocardiograph and/or other medical device
implanted in the body or device used as support.
4) Excessive drinking, eating, exercising, health conditions, used medicaments, women's
menstruation cycle etc. influence the results of the analysis.
5) Tables and information concerning optimum arrangement of body characteristics is only
orientational.
