BF-679F FitScan Body Fat / Body Water Monitor With Athlete Mode

FitScan's body fat / body water scales use Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA), an FDA cleared process for calculating body composition. BIA passes freely through the fluids contained in muscle tissue and in blood, but it encounters difficulty when passing through fat tissue, which contains little water. By using the impedance reading, gender, height, and weight, the scale can quickly and reliably calculate body fat and total body water percentages. Proper hydration is essential for life. Maintaining a healthy body water% improves overall health and keeps you feeling energized and operating at peak performance. As a general guideline the average body water % ranges for a healthy adult (over 18) are: Female 45 to 60% Male 50% to 65%.
