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 difficult

to gauge how much body fat we have in our bodies simply by looking at ourselves in the

mirror. Hence the need to be able to measure and monitor 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 be ‘over-fat’ even when a scale indicates ‘normal weight’.

BODY WATER MEASUREMENT – 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

fluid intake could be insufficient for healthy living.

HOW CAN KNOWING YOUR BODY FAT AND WATER PERCENTAGES HELP?

It can serve as a guide to whether you need to adjust your diet, fitness program or fluid intake to

help achieve a healthy balance. Refer to tables (See Fig 1 and Fig 2).

HOW DOES THE BODY FAT ANALYSER SCALE WORK?

Fat cells and lean/muscle cells have different conductivity. Using a system known as Bio-

electrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) the body fat analyser passes a minute, harmless, electrical

impulse through the body to determine a resistance reading. This reading is then processed

along with the users age, weight, sex and height to calculate the body fat and body water

percentage. For the most consistent results only use the Salter Body Analyser Scale when your

body is normally hydrated (i.e. not following excessive perspiration, nor just after a bath, nor

after drinking a lot of water or alcohol).

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

How exactly is my body fat and water being measured?

The Salter Body Analyer Scale uses a measurement method known as Bioelectrical Impedance

Analysis (BIA). A minute current is sent through your body, via your feet and legs. This current flows

easily through the lean muscular tissue, which has a high fluid content, but not easily through fat.

Therefore, by measuring your body’s impedance (i.e. its resistance to the current), the quantity of

muscle can be determined. From this, the quantity of fat and water can then be estimated.

What is the value of the current passing through me when the measurement is taken?

Is it safe?

The current is less than 1mA, which is tiny and perfectly safe. You will not be able to feel it. Please

note however, that this device should not be used by anyone with an internal electronic medical

device, such as a pacemaker, as a precaution against disruption to that device.

If I measure my body fat and water at different times during the day, it can vary quite

considerably. Which value is correct?

Your body fat percentage reading varies with body water content, and the latter changes

throughout the course of the day. There is no right or wrong time of the day to take a reading, but

aim to take measurements at a regular time when you consider your body to be normally hydrated.

Avoid taking readings after having a bath or sauna, following intensive exercise, or within 1-2 hours

of drinking in quantity or eating a meal.

My friend has a Body Fat Analyser made by another manufacturer. When I used it I found that I

got a different body fat reading to that on my Salter Body Analyser Scale. Why is this?

Different Body Fat Analysers take measurements around different parts of the body and use different

mathematic algorithms to calculate the percentage of body fat. The best advice is to not make

comparisons from one device to another, but to use the same device each time to monitor any change.

How do I interpret my body fat and water percentage readings?

Please refer to the Body Fat and Water tables included with the product. They will guide you as to

whether your body fat and water reading falls into a healthy category (relative to your age and sex).

What should I do if my body fat reading is very ‘high?

A sensible diet, fluid intake and exercise program can reduce your body fat percentage. Professional

medical guidance should always be sought before embarking on such a program.

Why are the body fat percentage ranges for men and women so different?

Women naturally carry a higher percentage of fat than men, because the make-up of the body is

different being geared towards pregnancy, breastfeeding etc.

What should I do if my water percentage reading is ‘low’?

Ensure that you are regularly taking sufficient fluids and work towards moving your fat percentage

into the healthy range.

Why should I avoid using the Salter Body Analyser Scale whilst pregnant?

During pregnancy a woman’s body composition changes considerably in order to support the

developing child. Under these circumstances, body fat percentage readings could be inaccurate and

misleading.

For those using Athlete Mode: note that athletes may have a lower body fat range and a higher

body water range than shown above, depending on their type of sport or activity.

Body water measurement results are influenced by the proportion of body fat and muscle. If the

proportion of body fat is high, or the proportion of muscle is low then the body water results will

tend to be low.

It is important to remember that measurements such as body weight, body fat and body water are

tools for you to use as part of your healthy lifestyle. As short term fluctuations are normal, we

suggest you chart your progress over time, rather than focus on a single days reading.

This product is for domestic use only. Pregnant women should only use the weight function.

Professional medical guidance should always be sought before embarking on diet and

exercise programmes.

CAUTION: Do not use this product if you have a pacemaker or other medical device fitted.

If in doubt, consult your doctor.
