1.3 Why is body analysis sensible?
A balanced and controlled diet and exercise are the true “secrets” for great health, moderate body weight, and
general wellbeing.
For this, a Soehnle body analysis scale will enable you to determine the body values that are relevant for your
health.

1.4 Bio Impedanz Analysis (BIA)
BIA is the common measurement method among Body Balance body analysis scales. This method does not
directly measure values like body fat, body water, and muscle mass but instead measures the electric resistance
(impedance) of the body.
The impedance measurement is performed by 4 electrodes located on the platform of the scale. This is done by

fat. The higher the body‘s resistance against the electric signal, the higher the body fat content and the lower the
body water content. And vice-versa: the higher the muscle mass in percent, the higher the body water content in
percent and the lower the body fat content in percent.

1.5 The body mass index (BMI)
The foundation of this calculation is the body mass index - an index number that can be used to interpret body
weight in terms of the risk it poses to your health.
The index number is calculated based on the body weight in kilogram, divided by the body height squared
(example: BMI =
75 kg
1,75 m x 1,75 m = 24,5)

1.6 Rules for weighing
The weight of an adult can change by approx. 2-3 kg during one day.
For a reliable weight control it is therefore important to maintain constant weighing conditions.
That’s why it’s best to weigh oneself
• sober
• always at the same time: the time between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. is best for body analysis.
• undressed

weighing process.
The body analysis
• Step on platform barefoot.
• Stand on the platform symmetrically. An uneven load on the platform may falsify the weighing result.
• Stand still.
• Do not hold on to anything for support.

of a day. This is not due to a lack of precision of the Body Balance body analysis scales, but rather due to the
ÀXFWXDWLRQVRIWKHERG\¶VGDLO\ZDWHUFRQWHQW
The human body may lose up to 2 - 3 kg of body water while sleeping. Therefore, the body is usually dehydrated
(lacking water) immediately after getting up in the morning. However, the lower the body water content, the higher
the body resistance and the calculated body fat content while the calculated muscle mass is lower.

While regular weighing is recommended immediately after waking, body analysis should be performed in the
evening. The time between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. is usually best for body analysis.
