HOW DOES THIS SALTER SCALE WORK?

This Salter scale uses BIA (Bio Impedance Analysis) technology which passes a tiny

electrical impulse through the body to determine fat from lean tissue, the electrical

impulse cannot be felt and is perfectly safe. Contact with the body is made via stainless

steel pads on the platform of the scale (or an almost invisible ITO coating on the surface

of the glass*).This method simultaneously calculates your personal weight, BMI, body

fat, total body water and muscle mass, giving you a more accurate reading of your

overall health and fitness. This scale stores the personal data of up to 4 users. As well

as being an analyser scale, this scale can be used as a conventional scale.

BODY FAT -WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

The human body is made up of, amongst other things, a percentage of fat. This is vital

for a healthy, functioning body - it cushions joints and protects vital organs, helps

regulate body temperature, stores vitamins and helps the body sustain itself when food

is scarce. However, too much body fat or indeed too little body fat can be damaging to

your health. It is dicult to gauge how much body fat we have in our bodies simply by

looking at ourselves in the mirror. This is why it is important to measure and monitor

your body fat percentage. Body fat percentage gives you a better measure of fitness

than weight alone – the composition of your weight loss could mean you are losing

muscle mass rather than fat - you could still have a high percentage of fat even when a

scale indicates ‘ normal weight’.

BODY WATER -WHY MEASURE IT?

Body water is the single most important component of body weight. It represents over

half of your total weight and almost two thirds of your lean body mass (predominantly

muscle). Water performs a number of important roles in the body:

All the cells in the body, whether in the skin, glands, muscles, brain or anywhere else,

can only function properly if they have enough water. Water also plays a vital part in

regulating the body’s temperature balance, particularly through perspiration.

The combination of your weight and fat measurement could appear to be ‘normal’ but

your body hydration level could be insucient for healthy living.

WHAT IS BMI?

Body Mass Index or BMI is a useful tool that many health professionals use to determine

a healthy weight range for an individual. BMI is a measure that uses height and weight

to gauge total body fat. A healthy BMI for an adult falls between 18.5 and 24.9.

If an individual has a BMI equal to or greater than 25, they are considered “overweight”.

An individual with a BMI equal to or greater than 30 is considered “obese”.

Finally, an individual with a BMI equal to or greater than 40 is considered “extremely

obese”. Anyone with a BMI less than 18.5 is considered “underweight”.

Note: There are some limitations to BMI. It may overestimate BMI in people who are very

muscular because muscle weighs more than fat, and underestimate BMI in people who

have lost muscle mass, such as the elderly. Consult a doctor / GP to determine what is

most ideal for you.

WHAT DOES MY BMI VALUE MEAN?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to

classify underweight, overweight and obesity in adults. This scale calculates your BMI

value for you. The BMI categories shown in the chart and table below are recognised by

the WHO (World Health Organisation) and can be used to interpret your BMI value.

Your BMI category can be identified using the table below.

BMI Category BMI Value Meaning Health Risk Based Solely On BMI

< 18.5 Underweight Moderate

18.6- 24.9 Normal Low

25- 29.9 Overweight Moderate

30+ Obese High

IMPORTANT: If the chart/table shows that you are outside of a ‘normal’ healthy weight

range, consult your doctor before taking any action. BMI classifications are for adults

(age 20+ years) only.
