Traditionally, finding your body-fat percentage required weighing yourself under water and comparing the results with your terrestrial weight, then plugging these into an equation. The underwater method worked because fat floats and muscle and bone doesn't. You had to go to a laboratory or a gym to perform the test and it was expensive. Or you could try the crude "pinch method", but that is only an estimation, especially since some people carry their weight differently.

The innovative Oregon Scientific Digital Body Fat Scale allows you to accurately measure your body fat in the comfort of your own home. It's easy, this body fat scale will keep up to 10 different user's formulas in the memory function. An easy-to-see LCD display and a maximum weight capacity of 330 pounds means almost anyone can measure their body fat and step on the road to weight loss right away.

Why measure body fat?
Your weight alone is not a clear indicator of good health because it does not distinguish between body fat and lean body mass or muscle. Too much fat = obesity. This puts a person at risk for many serious medical conditions including heart disease, diabetes and possibly certain forms of cancer. In fact, obesity contributes to at least half the chronic diseases in western society. Overweight means an excess of total body weight based on population averages for heights and body frame sizes. Athletes and very muscular people may be overweight, but that does not mean they are overly fat. Obesity means an excess of body fat regardless of your weight.

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis - BIA Body Fat Analysis
Whynter has developed a Fat Analyzer Bathroom Body Fat Scale that uses the revolutionary BIA technology of measuring body fat and weight. It is fast, easy and accurate. A person inputs their age, gender and height, then steps onto the bath scale. Electrodes in the foot sensor pads send a low, safe signal through your body. The Body Fat Monitor measures the impedance or resistance to the small electric signal as it travels through the water that is found in muscle and fat. The more muscle a person has, the more water their body can hold. The greater the amount of water in a person's body, the easier it is for the current to pass through it. The more fat, the more resistance to the current. Your weight is calculated automatically along with body fat content in less than a minute. If you have concerns about your body fat and you need to know about it quickly, this Body Fat Scale is a must have.
