Possible reasons for incorrect measurement results

The analysis is based on measuring the electrical resistance in one's body. Eating and
drinking habits over the day and your personal lifestyle affect the level of water. This is
noticeable from variations in the measurements displayed.
In order to achieve an analysis result that is as precise and repeatable as possible, ensure
that the measurement conditions are the same because this is the only way to observe
changes over a longer period of time. You will receive the most reliable measurement
results if you always take the measurement in the morning after waking up. This is the
best way of detecting a trend.
Other factors can also affect the level of water:
• After bathing, you may get a result where the displayed body fat
level is too low and the body water level too high.
• The result may be higher after a meal.
• Women experience differences as a result of their menstrual cycle.
