Bone mass and bone density are different factors. Please do
not confuse them. The latter can only be detected by a medical
examination (e. g. computer tomography, ultra sound). For this
reason the scale cannot be used to identify changes or the bones or
their durability.
The bone mass can hardly be influenced but is changing according to factors
like weight, body height, age or gender.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR):
BMR means the amount of energy the body needs for its basal vital functions
when the body is in the state of absolute calmness (e. g. when you stay in bed
for 24 hours). This value mainly depends on factors like weight, body size and
age. This value is displayed on your smartLAB
®
fit W Body Analyser Scale. The
unit is kcal/Tag (kcal/day). The basis for the calculation is the science-based
Harris-Benedict-Formula.
This is the amount of energy your body needs at least in the form of nutrition.
If your body gets less energy for a longer time this can affect your health
negatively.
Active Metabolic Rate (AMR):
The active metabolic rate means the amount of energy the body needs daily
in the state of activity. The energy consumption increases with an increasing
physical exercise. Your smartLAB
®
fit W Body Analyser Scale has 4 different
activity indices (refer to chapter “Setting up of the user data”) to determine
the appropriate degree of activity.
In order to maintain the current weight the consumed energy must be
replaced in form of food and drink. In case this energy will not be replaced
the body uses the stored fat – the body looses weight. In case the body gets
more energy than the required AMR the body is not able to use this energy – it
will be stored inside the body and you gain weight.
