Precautions when measuring
with a body composition analyzer

You can check more accurate measurement results by considering
the things that can affect the change in measurement results and setting the following conditions:

  • Measure at a set time.

    Measure before or 3 hours after having a meal.
    For periodic measurement,
    it is always necessary to measure under
    the same conditions (same clothes, same time
    zone, empty stomach, before exercise, etc.)
    to accurately identify body changes.

  • Measure at room temperature (20~25℃).

    Our body is most stable at room temperature,
    and if the temperature is too high or too low,
    it may affect the test result.
    Outdoor measurement in winter may cause
    a high body fat percentage.

  • Avoid measurement
    after sweating a lot.

    If measurement is performed after sweating
    heavily due to climate or environment,
    the temporary change in body water may be
    reflected in the result, and accurate results
    may not be obtained. Measure before exercise.

    Exercising sweat and increasing body
    temperature can cause temporary changes
    in body composition.

  • Measure before bathing.

    Saunas and hot baths cause the body
    to drain water, and the resulting change
    in body water affects the results.

  • Avoid measurement after drinking
    a large amount of beverage.

    Bioelectrical impedance analysis does not
    accurately measure the water in the intestines,
    so most of the water you drink may be
    measured as fat.

  • Measure on an empty stomach
    before meals.

    Bioelectrical impedance analysis does not
    accurately measure food in the intestines, so
    it is recommended to measure it before meals.
    If it is unavoidable to measure after a meal,
    measure 2 - 3 hours after the meal.

  • Go to the bathroom before measuring.

    Measure after going to the bathroom
    and removing as much waste from
    your body as possible.

  • Measure in light clothing.

    To improve the accuracy of the results,
    measure after setting the weight of clothing
    in the device's environment settings.

  • Measure after standing up for 5 minutes.

    If you suddenly change your posture from
    a sitting position to a standing position,
    water may flow down the lower body
    and affect the measurement.

  • Maintain the correct
    measurement posture.

    Place the electrodes in the same position
    on the left and right, and stand at attention
    with your arms spread about 45° so that
    your arms do not touch the armpit
    during measurement.

  • Do not talk or move while measuring.

    The characteristic motion of a body
    composition analyzer that measures using
    impedance may affect the result even
    with movement.

  • Keep the electrodes clean.

    Foreign substances on the electrodes during
    measurement cause errors in measurement,
    so always keep them clean..
