Taking Measurements - Beurer BF Limited Edition Instrucciones Para El Uso

5.3 Taking measurements

After all parameters have been entered, you can now measure your weight, body fat and the other data.
• Press "SET".
• Select the memory space where you would like to save your basic personal data by pressing the
button several times. These are then displayed briefly until "0.0" appears.
• Step onto the scale with bare feet and make sure that you are standing still on the electrodes.
• All values determined appear after weighing.
Important: There may be no contact between feet, legs, calves and thighs. Otherwise the measurement
will not be performed correctly.
The following display then appears:
1. Weight in kg
2. Body fat in %
3. Body water in %
4. Muscle percentage in %
5. Bone mass in kg
6. Active metabolic rate in Kcal
Body fat percentage
The following body fat percentages are for guidance (contact your physician for further information).
Man
Age very good good
10-14 <11% 11-16%
15-19 <12% 12-17%
20-29 <13% 13-18%
30-39 <14% 14-19%
40-49 <15% 15-20%
50-59 <16% 16-21%
60-69 <17% 17-22%
70-100 <18% 18-23%
A lower value is often found in athletes. Depending on the type of sports, training intensity and physical
constitution, values may result which are below the recommended values stated.
It should, however, be noted that there could be a danger to health in the case of extremely low values.
Body water:
The body water percentage is normally within the following ranges:
Man
Age poor good
10-100 <50% 50-65%
Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore persons with a high body fat percentage have body wa-
ter percentages below the recommended values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended
values could be exceeded due to low fat percentages and high muscle percentage.
Body water measurement with this scale is not suitable for drawing medical conclusions, for example con-
cerning age-related water retention. If necessary ask your physician.
Basically, a high body water percentage should be the aim.
