Bone mass
Like the rest of our body, our bones are subject to the natural development, degenera-
tion 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). Little influence can be exerted on bone
mass, but it will vary slightly within the influencing factors (weight, height, age, gender).
There are no recognised guidelines or recommendations relating to bone mass meas-
urement.
Important
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. os-
teoporosis) using this scale.
BMR
The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the
amount of energy which the body requires
to maintain its basic functions when com-
pletely at rest (sufficient for e.g. lying in
bed for a period of 24 hours). This value
essentially depends on weight, height and
age. The diagnostic scale displays this in
kcal/day and calculates it using the scien-

tifically recognised Harris Benedict for-
mula.
This is the amount of energy that your
body requires as an absolute minimum
which must be supplied to the body in the
form of food. If you consume less energy
than this in the long term, it can have a
detrimental effect on your health.
