Resistance when it passes through fat tissue.


The resistance of the fat tissue to the current is termed bioelectrical impedance. When set against a persons height, gender and weight, the scales can then compute their body fat percentage.

A method used in clinical and laboratory settings to measure body volume. Using the same whole-body measurement principle as underwater weighing. Measures a subjects mass and volume. Uses air instead of water.
