Analysis is based on the measurement of the
body's electrical resistance. Eating and drink-
ing habits during the course of the day and
individual lifestyle affect the water balance.
This is noticeable by the fluctuations in the
display.
In order to ensure that the results of analysis
are a accurate and consistent as possible,
keep the measurement conditions constant, as
only in this way will you be able to observe
changes over an extended period.
Other factors can affect water balance:
After a bath, the body fat reading may be
too low and the body water reading too
high.
After a meal, readings can be higher.
Women may experience fluctuations due to
the menstrual cycle.
Due to loss of water caused by illness or
after physical activity (sport).
After taking exercise, wait for 6 to 8 hours
before carrying out the next measurement.

case of:
Persons with a high temperature, symptoms
of oedema or osteoporosis
