Bodyweight, bodyfat and body-water
shares can be subject to considerable
fluctuation during the course of a day.
Through these natural fluctuations the
measurements taken at different times
of the day can, in part, differ considerably
from each other. Therefore, if possible
try to ensure that the measurements
are taken…
• under the same conditions, and
• at the same time of day.
Otherwise, the measurement results will
not be comparable with each other.
Variances in the measurement results are
then possibly due not to actual changes
but to differences in the measurement
conditions.
The most exact and realistic measure-
ments are obtained in the early evening
hours. Additionally, the measurements
should always be carried out before
taking a meal.
Strong variances between the measured
values and the actual values can occur
with the following groups:
• Women in the menopause
• High performance professional sport
players
• People with influenza/fevers
• People with swollen legs
• Osteoporosis patients
• Dialysis patients
With these groups, due to the level
of presumed erroneous measurement
results, the measurement of bodyfat/
muscle mass/body-water shares and
the calorie requirements is not meaning-
ful.There are however no potential dan-
gers to the health by these named
groups by using the scales.
