Omron BF511 smart scale with body analysis and fat percentage
The Omron BF511 has the special feature that it can measure the fat percentage of children from the age of six. The fat percentage is determined by means of bio-electrical impedance, whereby a weak current is sent through the entire body based on the four-point method.
Measurements can be performed via the memory or guest mode. In addition to weight, fat, muscle percentage and BMI, the basal metabolism (in kcal) is also shown in the clear display. The visceral fat level and a classification of the measured values are also displayed.

Body fat
The Omron BF511 measures the percentage of body fat in relation to height and weight, using eight measuring points. Too much body fat can lead to serious health problems such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Body fat mainly accumulates around the abdomen, upper arms, hips and thighs.
Visceral fat (fat around the organs)
This is the most dangerous fat, the fat that accumulates around the organs. Visceral fat is not always visible, even people with a healthy weight can suffer from it. People with a high percentage of this fat often have a large stomach capacity. People with a healthy weight and yet a high percentage of organ fat usually suffer from their metabolism.
BMI
The BMI is an index for weight in relation to body length. The BMI is calculated by dividing the body weight in kilograms by the square of the body length. A BMI below 18.5 is considered underweight. Between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered a healthy weight. A BMI between 25 and 29.9 indicates overweight. A BMI higher than 30 is considered obese. Please note: these are average values that can vary slightly from person to person.
