2. Understanding Body Indices
The Roadstar RS-870BR scale measures 12 different body indices using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). This technology sends a small, safe electrical current through your body to estimate body composition. The indices include:
- Weight: Your total body weight.
- BMI (Body Mass Index): A measure of body fat based on height and weight.
- Body Fat: Percentage of total body weight that is fat.
- Muscle Mass: The total weight of muscle in your body.
- Water Content: Percentage of total body weight that is water.
- Protein Rate: The percentage of protein in your body.
- Visceral Fat: Fat stored around the organs in your abdomen.
- Basal Metabolism: The number of calories your body needs to perform basic, life-sustaining functions.
- Bone Mass: The total weight of bone in your body.
- Body Age: An estimation of your body's physiological age based on your body composition.
- Ideal Weight: A calculated healthy weight range for your profile.
- Body Type: Categorization of your physique based on muscle and fat distribution.
