Bone mass varies according to gender, height, age and weight
and can only be influenced to a limited extent. As a result,
there are no universally-applicable reference values.
You can counteract the age-related loss of bone mass associ-
ated with ageing with proper nutrition and physical activity. At
the same time, be sure that you are getting a sufficient amount
of vitamin D and calcium. You can strengthen your skeleton by
engaging in athletic activity to strengthen your muscles.
Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
The basal metabolic rate, BMR, refers to the amount of energy
your body requires on a daily basis when fully at rest in order
to maintain its basic functions. Therefore, you must consume
at least this amount of energy through your diet to avoid any
harm to your health.
Body height, age and weight are the primary factors that affect the
basal metabolic rate. The scale calculates this value in kilocalories
per day (kcal/24h) using the using the Harris-Benedict formula.
Active metabolic rate (AMR)
The active metabolic rate, AMR, refers to the amount of energy
your body requires on a daily basis during activity. The scale
calculates this amount in kilocalories per day (kcal/24h).
To maintain your weight, you must consume the amount of
energy that corresponds to your active metabolic rate through
your diet. If you consume less energy than the calculated ac-
tive metabolic rate, you will lose weight.
On the other hand, your weight will increase if you consume
more energy than your active metabolic rate. However, if you
do not increase the amount of daily physical activity, increas-
ing the amount of energy consumed will only cause the per-
centage of body fat to rise.
