Achieve Your Goals with a Reliable Smart Scale
To reach your fitness and health objectives, you need a scale that delivers trustworthy results. The Bluetooth Smart Scale equipped with Multi-Frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology provides meticulous and valuable insights. This cutting-edge multi-frequency testing enhances body composition analysis accuracy by assessing both intracellular and extracellular data. Typically found in professional-grade models, this technology helps assess not only muscle mass but also muscle quality.
BIA determines muscle tissue density by analyzing cellular data. A high score signifies denser muscle fibers with minimal fat, water, and connective tissue, whereas a lower score indicates fewer and thinner muscle fibers in proportion to other body components.
How Multi-Frequency Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) Works
BIA is a quick and non-invasive technique that involves connecting electrodes to the right hand and foot. A low-level electrical current flows through the body, measuring the impedance levels based on tissue composition. Since water-rich tissues like blood and muscles conduct electricity efficiently, while fat and bones impede it, the BIA scale calculates body water content and estimates body fat via specialized equations.

Understanding Body Composition Data
Weight
Weight, in scientific terms, represents the gravitational force exerted on the body. It is generally measured in kilograms or pounds and plays a crucial role in assessing overall health.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI is a standardized ratio of weight to height, used as a general health indicator. It is calculated by dividing body weight (kg) by height squared (mĀ²). While helpful for population studies, BMI has limitations when assessing individual health.
Body Fat Percentage
This metric measures the proportion of fat relative to total body weight. Fat is necessary for body functions such as temperature regulation, organ protection, and joint cushioning. Excess fat accumulation occurs when calorie intake exceeds the ratio of calories burnt on a daily basis, leading to weight gain.
Fat-Free Body Mass (Lean Mass)
Lean mass includes all body parts except fat, such as muscles, bones, organs, and body water. For body composition purposes, lean mass primarily refers to muscle mass.
Visceral Fat
Visceral fat accumulates around internal organs within the abdominal cavity. Even if body weight remains more or less constant, aging often leads to an increase in visceral fat. Maintaining a healthy level of visceral fat reduces the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes.
Subcutaneous Fat
This type of fat is stored directly under the skin and can be measured using BIA. It is commonly found in areas such as the belly, thighs, and arms. While subcutaneous fat plays a protective role, a surplus of its accumulation can result in serious obesity-related health concerns.
Body Water Percentage
Body water is distributed throughout blood, tissues, and bones. BIA technology estimates hydration levels by analyzing electrical impedance. Proper hydration is crucial for maintaining metabolic functions and overall health.
Skeletal Muscle Mass
Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles responsible for the functioning and movement of several parts of the body. Attached to bones via tendons, they facilitate physical activity. Unlike cardiac and smooth muscles, skeletal muscles can be strengthened through routine exercise.
Muscle Mass
Muscle mass refers to the total volume of muscle tissue in the body. Increased muscle mass is typically associated with strength training and physical activity. BIA scales measure muscle mass by analyzing impedance differences between fat and lean tissue.
Bone Mass
Bone mass refers to the average amount of mineral content in bones. Peak bone mass occurs in young adulthood, after which bone density gradually declines. Sustaining healthy bones requires all individuals, especially women to follow a calcium-rich diet and weight-bearing exercises.
Protein Levels
Proteins are essential macronutrients crucial for muscle repair and growth. BIA scales analyze protein levels by measuring electrical conductivity, as protein-rich tissues facilitate current flow more effectively than fat.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
BMR estimates the number of calories required to maintain basic bodily functions, such as respiration and circulation, while at rest. Factors affecting BMR include age, weight, height, gender, and lifestyle habits.
Metabolic Age
Metabolic age compares an individual's BMR to the average BMR of their age group. If metabolic age is higher than actual age, it may indicate a need for improved metabolism through better nutrition and physical activity.
