How Do Body Fat Scales Work?
By: LightMove Date: December 18, 2021, 12:55 am

Although the scale is a useful tool for measuring weight loss,
it is limited to assessing one component: weight. On the other
hand, measuring body fat percentage can better gauge the
effectiveness of your diet and exercise program.
A body fat scale is a device that a person can use to measure
their weight and body composition at home. The term "body
composition" refers to the relative percentage of body fat,
muscle, and water.

How Do Body Fat Scales Work?
How do they work？
The body fat scale uses a technique called bioelectrical
impedance analysis to measure body fat. Basically, you step on a
small sensor that sends tiny, unobtrusive electrical currents on
one leg and the other, measuring the amount of resistance
encountered along the way.
Fat is a poor conductor of electricity compared to other parts
of the body, such as muscle. So the idea is that the more
resistance the current experiences, the higher the body fat
content. Body fat scales can provide a wealth of information
including：
Metabolic age
Basal metabolic rate
Bone density
Physique rating
Muscle quality
Muscle mass
Body water percentage
Visceral fat
Body fat percentage
Smart body fat scales like BodyPedia can also connect to your
smartphone or tablet, making it easier to access your body data.
It also helps you target areas for improvement, train
effectively, adjust your diet, set achievable goals, and track
body composition over time to achieve
success.

How to use body fat scales
As with traditional scales, it is best to measure yourself
regularly and record the results rather than rely on one-off or
occasional measurements.
Make sure your feet are bare and clean in order to make good
contact with the sensor pad of the scale.
Place the scale on a hard, level floor.
Do not take measurements immediately after waking up, after
meals, or within 24 hours of excessive exercise or alcohol
consumption. The water content in your body may be uneven or
atypical, which can make readings unreliable.
Measure yourself at the same time of day under the same
conditions.

Summary
A 2016 study showed a strong link between increased abdominal
fat and a higher risk of developing chronic diseases such as
cardiovascular disease. A body fat scale can measures a person's
body fat and gives a general indication of their health. Knowing
your body fat is knowing your health.
