problems, progress of atherosclerosis, os-
teoporosis, although the lack of weight may 
lead to osteoporosis too (osteoporosis is 
the systemic skeleton disease. Its features 
are: bone mass per volume decreases, 
bone tissue micro architectonics impair-
ment. It issues in bones fragility, the risk 
of fractures because of minimal trauma or 
even without one.)
The physical exercises and moderate die-
tary regime help to get rid of excess weight. 
Excess weight analyzer is the ideal tool to 
control excess weight.
It is well known, that in case of small weight 
muscles and tissues contain more water 
than fat. And that water conducts electric 
current better than fat does.
The appliance can quickly measure your 
body fat percentage in muscles by con-
ducting weak electric current through the 
body. This helps you to control your forms.

Changing of fat percentage during the 
day

Such factors as way of life, physical activity, 
health condition as well as quantity of liquid 
in the body influence percentage of fat. 
You should take into account the following 
factors:
-  fat percentage may be lower after taking 

a bath or a shower.

-   fat percentage may be higher after eating 

or drinking.

-    percentage of liquid may decrease result-

ing in changes of fat percentage during 
or after illness, as well as after physical 
exercises.

Water percentage

Water percentage is the amount of water in 
the body of a human being in percentage to 
total weight.
Water is of primary importance for tissues 
and organs of a human being, about 50-
65 % of our body consist of water. You can 
figure out percentage of water using a for-
mula, used by dietarians, the acquired re-

sult will be indicated as percentage of the 
total weight. 
Thanks to the “BIA” technique used in the 
scales, you can control percentage of wa-
ter in your body and adjust this important 
indicator. 

Water percentage standard in female 
body  is 45-60%, in male body - 50-
65%

What is muscle mass?

Muscle mass includes weight of muscles 
of supporting-motor system, smooth mus-
cles (heart and digestive system) and wa-
ter, contained in these muscles.
Muscle mass should be especially control-
led by people, suffering from excess weight 
and obesity. Weight reduction may lead to 
reduction of fat tissues, but only if muscle 
mass will be accumulated.

What is bone mass?

Human skeleton is based on bone tissues. 
They are hard and environmentally stable, 
protecting internal organs, and together 
with muscle tissue provide human ability to 
move.  
The basis of bone mass measurements 
constitutes definition of mineral substanc-
es in the body (calcium and others).
According to the investigations, develop-
ment of muscle tissues strengthens skel-
eton bones. This fact should be taken into 
account when composing dietary regime 
and while physical activity for bones to re-
main strong. 
Bone mass practically does not change; 
nevertheless, some decrease is possible as 
a result of many factors (mass, height, age, 
gender). That is why there are no indica-
tions of the directions of changes and inter-
pretation of measurements. There are no 
regulation values and recommendations.

Note: - 

the data in the table are of recom-

mended character.
