Body fat is stored energy. When a man measures higher than 20% body fat and a woman measures over 25%, he/she is considered obese. The higher the amount of body fat the higher the risk of serious illness such as heart disease and stroke. A sedentary life style or unhealthy diet may result in too high body fat as well as a loss of muscle- a necessary element for metabolism. Because your body fat amount can not be detected by appearance, it is important to monitor body fat level. Body
fat measurement is now considered an important factor in assessing
nutritional status and level of general fitness. It is much more
meaningful than weight alone, since the height- weight charts do not take
into account body composition. For example, many professional athletes are
virtually solid muscle, yet are classified as obese by the height- weight
charts. Conversely, a person who satisfies the chart criteria can be
overfat and in Poor Physical condition.  Lafayette
Skinfold Caliper IIA uniquely designed caliper, provides precise measurement at an affordable price. The 0-100 mm scale is what sets this instrument apart from other clinical calipers on the market that only have a 0-60 mm scale. The 0-100 mm scale is easy to read and it allows you to accurately measure the skinfold thickness of a larger portion of the population than the other calipers. The spring-loaded arms and pivoting tips adjust automatically for parallel measurement of skinfolds, and the circular tips provide comfort to the patient. The tension spring provides constant pressure over the entire operating range, meeting the pressure requirements of 10g/mm2. The caliper is lightweight, durable, and never needs calibration. Measurement Range: 0-100mm. Size: 5"x6"x0.6"

Frequently Asked Questions I'm an athlete. Can I use the Omron
HBF-306C Body Fat Analyzer? We recommend you take the measurement in the morning before you exercise, eat, drink or take a shower. This will give you opportunity to develop a trend and a good comparison by day. What is the "anaerobic
zone"? Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The Body Fat Analyzer sends an extremely weak electrical current through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. The weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The body fat percentage is calculated by a formula that includes five factors; electric resistance, height, weight, age and gender. What is the age appropriateness for
the Body Logic Body Fat Analyzer?
