BBalance assesses body fat and water percentage, as well as muscle and bone mass, to help people take steps toward a healthier lifestyle.
If you activate body composition collection in the settings, BBalance will collect all these indexes automatically each time you step on the scale.
Body composition is measured with the bio-impedance technology. The scale sends a safe, low-amplitude electrical current through the body, measuring the resistance of biological tissues to the flow of this current. In this way, the scale can assess body composition using scientifically validated equations.
These equations need your age, sex and height to reach a good precision, this is why these accounts traits are mandatory for body composition to be computed.
As bio-impedance technology uses an electrical current, we advise people wearing implanted devices (pacemakers for example) to keep this functionality disabled.
