Are those healthy body fat scales accurate? Can you really measure body fat?
Now people pay more and more attention to health, but obesity is the number one enemy of health, so more and more friends come to buy body fat scales to measure and control their weight. Indeed, the intelligent body fat scale can not only detect data such as weight, body fat rate, basal metabolic rate, bone mass and muscle mass, but also calculate the physical condition according to the age and gender input by users. So is the data measured by the body fat scale accurate? Let's introduce it below.

Is the data measured by body fat scale accurate? How does the body fat scale measure fat?

In fact, this is difficult to answer accurately. A person's body conductivity is different in the morning and evening. Secondly, the environment and indoor temperature and humidity will also affect the measurement results. But you don't have to worry, the error will definitely exist, but we can basically understand the general situation and there is no need to be demanding. What we need to do is to choose a body fat scale with small error.

In fact, Intelligent weighing scale uses "bioelectrical impedance technology" to measure fat. When ITO conductive film or conductive metal sheet is added to the surface of the scale, a closed-loop electrode will be formed when the human body steps on it barefoot. Because fat is not conductive and water is conductive, the fat content in the body can be calculated by calculating the current value, resistance value and weight value. In other words, to measure the fat rate, you must walk barefoot.

As for whether the data measured by the body fat scale is accurate, we don't have to be too entangled. Even if a qualified body fat scale can't measure the exact fat content of our body, the error will not be too big, so we can pay more attention to it when shopping, and don't be too demanding.
