Factors Influencing
Maesurement Readings
Analysis is based on the mea-
surement of the body's elect-
rical resistance. Eating and
drinking habits during the
course of the day and indivi-
dual lifestyle affect the water
balance. This is noticeable by
the fluctuations in the dis-
play.
In order to ensure that the
results of analysis are a accu-
rate and consistent as possi-
ble, keep the measurement
conditions constant, as only
in this way will you be able to
observe changes over an
extended period.
Other factors can affect water
balance:
After a bath, the body fat rea-
ding may be too low and the
body water reading too high.
After a meal, readings can be
higher.
Women may experience
fluctuations due to the mens-
trual cycle.
Due to loss of water caused
by illness or after physical
activity (sport). After taking
exercise, wait for 6 to 8 hours
before carrying out the next
measurement.
Varying or implausible results
can occur in the case of:
Persons with a high tempera-
ture, symptoms of oedema or
osteoporosis.
Persons undergoing dialysis
treatment.
Persons taking cardiovascular
medicine.
Pregnant women.
If the analysis is performed
while wearing wet socks.
