How Does the Index Smart Scale Series Measure Various Body Data?

The Index Smart Scale series uses bioelectrical impedance to calculate your body composition. The device sends a small amount of electrical current (which you do not feel) from one foot through your body to the other foot. The scale can measure the electrical signal after it passes through your body to estimate aspects of your body composition.

The Index Smart Scale series will upload the following body composition data:

• Body Mass Index (BMI):  Body mass index is your weight in kilograms divided by your height in meters squared. BMI is often used to estimate if a person is underweight or overweight

• Skeletal Muscle Mass: Skeletal muscle mass is the total amount of mass attributed to involuntary muscle. This excludes smooth and cardiovascular muscle. It is measured in pounds, kilograms or stones and pounds.

• Bone Mass: Bone mass is the total amount of mass attributed to dry bone weight. It is measured in pounds, kilograms, or stones and pounds.

• Body Fat Percentage:  Body Fat percentage is the percentage of total mass attributed to fat, including essential fat and storage body fat. Essential body fat is required for basic health.

• Water Percentage: Water percentage is the percentage of total mass attributed to fluid. This measurement can be used to indicate your level of hydration.
