Like the rest of our body, our bones are subject to the natural development, degeneration and ageing processes. Bone mass
increases rapidly in childhood and reaches its maximum between 30 and 40 years of age. Bone mass reduces slightly with
increasing age. You can reduce this degeneration somewhat with healthy nutrition (particularly calcium and vitamin D) and
regular exercise. With appropriate muscle building, you can also strengthen your bone structure. Note that this scale will
not show you the calcium content of your bones, but will measure the weight of all bone constituents (organic substances,
inorganic substances and water).
The bone mass is normally within the following ranges:
WEIGHT < 60 kg
BONEMASS 2,5 kg
Attention: Please do not confuse bone mass with bone density. Bone density can be determined only by means of a medical
examination (e.g. computer tomography, ultrasound). It is therefore not possible to draw conclusions concerning changes to
the bones and bone hardness (e.g. osteoporosis) using this scale.
Little influence can be exerted on bone mass, but it will vary slightly within the influencing factors (weight, height, age,
gender).
The basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy required by the body at complete rest to maintain its basic functions. This
value largely depends on weight, height and age.
This is displayed on the scale as the amount of energy that your body requires in any case and it must be reintroduced into
your body in the form of nutrition. If you take on less energy over the longer term, this can be harmful to your health.

Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term fluctuations in weight over a few days are usually the result
of a loss of fluid.
Important when measuring body fat/body water/muscle percentage:
• If possible, always weighs yourself at the same time of day (ideally in the morning), after going to the toilet, on an empty
stomach and without clothes to achieve comparable results.
• The measurement may only be carried out while barefoot and it is helpful if the soles of your feet are slightly damp.
Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory results, as they have insufficient conductivity.
• Stand still during the measurement.
• Wait several hours after unusually strenuous activity.
• Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting out of bed so that the water in your body can be distributed.
• Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term changes in weight within a few days are usually caused
by a loss of fluid. Body water plays an important role towards our general wellbeing.
