Omron BF511 Clinically Validated Full Body Composition Monitor with 8 High Precision Sensors for Hand-to-foot Measurement - Blue

Product Information

The BCM-500 measures body composition based on human physiology. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissue, which contain high water content and conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue which stores little water and, therefore, has little electric conductivity. This electric conductivity is also known as “impedance.” This monitor uses the Bioelectric Impedance (BI) method, which sends a low-level electrical current through your body to determine the amount of water in each tissue. Along with your height, weight, age and gender information, this monitor determines your body composition.

Connectivity: Several scales offer Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. You can connect the scale to your smartphone or another device. Some models allow multiple users to set up profiles. Bring your cell phone close to the body fat monitor when you’re ready to transfer information from your apps. Frija-Masson J, et al. (2021).

Setting up more than one profile with certain body fat monitors may be confusing for some. Expect a slight learning curve as you set up and begin using the monitor and its many features.

Some simply require you to stand on a scale. Some models work a bit differently. With these models, users must hold a bar that is attached to the scale while an electrical current passes from their hands to their feet.

Not necessarily. Home body fat scales tend to be inaccurate and overestimate or underestimate body fat percentage (BFP). Personalised Health Insights. These are daily, weekly, or monthly messages regarding your health with tips.BMI is a calculation that uses your height and weight to estimate your body fat. This measurement is meant to screen for high body fatness that may potentially lead to health problems. However, it doesn’t calculate your body fat percentage.
