How body fat scales work and why its important
Body fat scales are one of the most convenient ways
to measure your body fat percentage. The Mellerware
BodyMax Health scale uses a technique called Bio- elec-
trical Impedance Analysis (or BIA for short). Very simply,
a small and completely harmless electrical current is
passed through your body. The electrical current passes
more quickly through fat free tissue, like muscle, than
it does through fat or bone tissue. So, the amount of
resistance to the electrical current relates to how much
fat-free mass a person has and their body density.
Like all body fat tests, BodyMax Health scale does
not actually measure your body fat percentage. They
determine your body density. The examiner (or the
BodyMax Health) then uses a formula to calculate body
fat percentage based on body density.
These formulas just predict your body fat. Unfortu-
nately, there is no one formula that accurately predicts
body fat for the whole population. Differences in age,
gender, ethnicity, body size, and fitness level all have
a significant effect on the results as long as they can
accurately monitor changes in your body composi-
tion over time, that's all you need. Your body position,
the amount of water in your body, your food intake,
skin temperature and recent physical activity can all
adversely affect the results of body fat scales.
To achieve accurate, consistent results, you must
standardize the way you perform each test. That simply
means making each test with your BodyMax Health
scale as similar as possible.
The great thing about BodyMax Health scale is that stan-
dardising each test is easy to do. Check out the Top Tips
to get the most from your Body- Max Health scale.
Top Tips when using your BodyMax Health Scale
• Remember to use the Bodymax scale with bare feet in
order for the BIA function to work correctly.
• Use the BodyMax Health Scale to measure your
progress only. Don't compare your body fat percentage
to anyone else's score.
• Measure out and drink some water one hour before
you test yourself. Make sure you always drink the same
amount of water one hour before you test yourself.
• Measure yourself at the same time of day for each
test. Your skin temperature affects the electrical current
used by the BodyMax Health scale. It's difficult but try to
test yourself in a similar room temperature each time.
• Don't test yourself after exercising. When you exercise
you sweat and when you sweat you lose water. This
affects your hydration levels and therefore the results.
• Thoroughly clean the foot pads, preferably with alco-
hol and then dry them off each time you test.
