Withings BODY-CARDIO user manual

Withings Body Cardio scale is known to provide accurate measurements of body fat percentage. It uses a technology called bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to estimate body composition. BIA works by sending a small electrical current through the body and measuring the resistance encountered. Based on this resistance, the scale can estimate the amount of body fat present.
However, it's important to understand that no scale can provide 100% accurate results when it comes to measuring body fat percentage. Various factors such as hydration levels, muscle mass, and individual differences can affect the accuracy of the readings. Additionally, BIA technology may be less accurate for certain populations, such as athletes or those with certain medical conditions.
It is recommended to use a body fat scale like the Withings Body Cardio as a general trend indicator rather than relying solely on the specific numerical value. By consistently using the same scale under similar conditions, you can track changes in body fat percentage over time and assess overall trends in body composition.

Withings Body Cardio is generally considered accurate by users and reviewers. It uses a combination of technologies, including patented Position Control technology and bioelectrical impedance analysis, to provide precise measurements of weight, body fat percentage, muscle mass, water percentage, and more. However, it is important to note that bioelectrical impedance analysis can have limitations and may not always be 100% accurate for everyone, especially in certain conditions such as hydration levels, body shape, or pregnancy. Nonetheless, most users find Withings Body Cardio to be reliable and helpful in tracking their body composition over time.
