Evaluating the measurements
Please keep in mind that all measurements, with
the exception of your body weight, are only rel-
evant if you have correctly configured your body
parameters (age, body height etc.) in the app.
Restrictions
Please keep in mind that only long-term trends are relevant
with respect to significant fluctuations, particularly in terms of
your weight. Always consider the measurements in their rela-
tion to one another (see chapter “Measurements in relation to
one another”).
Certain physical characteristics or impairments may lead the
percentage calculations for body water, fat, muscles, bone and
bone density to significantly differ from the standard values or
return false values. The affected persons include:
• Dialysis patients,
• Persons with a fever or suffering from osteoporosis,
• Persons with illnesses leading to oedema,
• Persons taking cardiovascular medication (e.g. drugs influ-
encing vessels, circulatory or heart medication),
• Persons with considerably shorter or longer leg length,
• Children under 10 years of age.
Body mass index (BMI)
The body mass index is used to distinguish between underweight,
normal weight and overweight. You can calculate the value as
follows:
