HOW THE BODY WEIGHT MONITOR WORKS
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
When you step on the Monitor, a weight measurement is taken. The Monitor can also help
you to automatically calculate your Body mass index (BMI) and Body Fat Index, two
internationally accepted indicators of health and obesity levels.
Weight alone is not a good enough indicator of health because it does not differentiate
between muscles, tissues, bones, and fat. As such, when a person loses weight, it may be
a result of the loss of muscles or body water but not fat. In order to better understand your body
composition and current health level, both the BMI and Body Fat Index should be observed.
Neither the BMI nor the Body Fat Index, taken individually, gives the complete picture of your
health. For example, bodybuilders often have high BMI (considered obese) but low Body Fat
Index (considered healthy). The BMI, in this case, does not take into account that the extra
weight is from muscles and water but not fat. Conversely, a very thin person may have low
Body Fat Index (considered healthy) but also lower-than-accepted BMI (considered unhealthy).
This means that the person is still at risk health-wise, despite the low Body Fat Index.
Consult your physician before you begin a new diet or exercise program.
