Why are the body fat percentage ranges for men and women so dif-
ferent?
Women naturally carry a higher percentage of fat than men, because the
make-up of the body is different being geared towards pregnancy, breastfeed-
ing etc.
Why should I avoid using the Taylor Body Analyzer Scale while
pregnant?
During pregnancy a woman’s body composition changes considerably in
order to support the developing child. Under these circumstances, body fat
percentage readings could be inaccurate and misleading.
Why is the Taylor Body Analyzer Scale unsuitable for athletes and
children?
The body compositions of both athletes and children require different mathe-
matic algorithms for the body fat calculation.
1. You must have bare feet to make this measurement. To get the most
accurate and consistent reading, wipe your feet with a damp cloth,
leaving them slightly damp before stepping on the scale. measurement
again, maintaining maximum contact between your feet and the metal
sensors.
2. The condition of the skin on the bottom of your feet can affect the
reading. The natural effects of aging or activity can make this skin hard.
Take the reading with clean, slightly damp feet for best accuracy.

fat and body water percentages will not add up to 100%.
