Body Weight
Whilst the body weight is
shown in the display in kg,
one of the 9 segments is
shown in the bar below it.
Here the position of the
active segment indicates the
assessment of the body
weight mentioned on the
basis of the BMI figure.
The BMI (Body Mass Index)
is a measure for the health
risk resulting from overweight
or underweight.
On the basis of categorisation
of the BMI, doctors distin-
guish between "underweight”,
"normal weight”, "overweight”
and "obese”.
