Obesity (having an abnormally high proportion of body fat) is a known risk factor for such health hazards as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and some forms of cancer. In the U.S. alone, approximately 280,000 adult deaths are attributed to obesity! The Health o meter® Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale can help you in achieving your physical best by providing two critical measurement estimates: BODY FAT COMPOSITION and BODY WEIGHT. INDICATIONS FOR USE: The Health o meter® Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale is intended for the estimation of percent body fat and body weight. Body Fat Composition: What Does It Mean? Simply speaking, your body is made up of lean mass and fat mass. Lean mass consists of muscle, bones, organs, etc. Fat mass is body fat. While everyone needs a certain amount of fat to assist the body in storing energy, providing heat insulation and other functions, most people will find they are at their most fit when they increase their lean mass and decrease their fat mass. While standard scales are useful in providing a measurement of overall weight, they do not calculate the percentage of fat within the body. However, the Health o meter® Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale allows the user to monitor both of these important health factors. Body Fat Composition: How Is It Estimated? The Health o meter® Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale uses a technique called Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA). A harmless amount of bioelectric current is sent from the footpads through the body. The current travels at different speeds through lean and fat body masses. The Health o meter® Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale’s microprocessor analyzes the degree of impedance, or transmission speed. Taking into consideration the user’s height, age, gender and weight, the Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale calculates the composition of the body. The percentage of the body that is composed of fat is displayed on the monitor —”body fat percentage.” Age .19 20-29 30-39 40-49 .50 Excellent 12.0 13.0 14.0 15.0 16.0 Good 12.1 to17.0 13.1 to 18.0 14.1 to 19.0 15.1 to 20.0 16.1 to 21.5 Obese >27.1 >28.1 >29.1 >30.1 >31.1 BODY FAT COMPOSITION RANGES MEN Moderate 17.1 to 22.0 18.1 to 23.0 19.1 to 24.0 20.1 to 25.0 21.1 to 26.0 Overweight 22.1 to 27.0 23.1 to 28.0 24.1 to 29.0 25.1 to 30.0 26.1 to 31.0 .19 20-29 30-39 40-49 .50 Excellent 12.0 13.0 14.0 15.0 16.0 Good 12.1 to17.0 13.1 to 18.0 14.1 to 19.0 15.1 to 20.0 16.1 to 21.5 Obese >27.1 >28.1 >29.1 >30.1 >31.1 BODY FAT COMPOSITION RANGES MEN Moderate 17.1 to 22.0 18.1 to 23.0 19.1 to 24.0 20.1 to 25.0 21.1 to 26.0 Overweight 22.1 to 27.0 23.1 to 28.0 24.1 to 29.0 25.1 to 30.0 26.1 to 31.0 WOMEN Age Excellent Good Moderate Overweight Obese .19 17.0 17.1 to 22.0 12.1 to 27.0 27.1 to 32.0 >32.1 20-29 18.0 18.1 to 23.0 23.1 to 28.0 28.1 to 33.0 >33.1 30-39 19.0 19.1 to 24.0 24.1 to 29.0 29.1 to 34.0 >34.1 40-49 20.0 20.1 to 25.0 25.1 to 30.0 30.1 to 35.0 >35.1 .50 21.0 21.1 to 26.5 26.1 to 31.0 31.1 to 36.0 >36.1 Taken from Principals & Labs for Fitness and Wellness, 1st Edition. ©1999 Reprinted with permission of Wadsworth, a division of Thompson Learning. Fax 800-730-2215. 1 Please read all instructions to familiarize yourself with features and operations before programming the scale. Use of this scale is not recommended for persons with an electric implant (heart pacemaker) or other internal medical device. Body fat percentages may be slightly higher or lower for pregnant women, children under 16, persons with fever, persons with swollen legs, persons with diabetes and other health conditions. Scale will not calculate body fat unless you have bare feet. For an accurate body fat estimate, do not bend your knees, and keep your legs/thighs apart and straight when standing on the scale. POWER SUPPLY: The Professional Body Fat Monitor and Scale requires (1) 9V battery for operation. Locate the battery cover on the back of the scale and insert a 9V battery as indicated.
