FAQs About Smart Scales Marra M, et al. (2019). Assessment of body composition in health and disease using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA): A critical overview. i) repair the product using new or previously used parts that are equivalent to new in reliability and performance, Yes, body fat scales are safe for most people to use. However, they are not recommended for children or pregnant people. If you want to use a body fat scale during pregnancy, many scales have specific pregnancy features that disable the body composition measurement.

Underneath the glass, there are four oval electrodes that have a brushed stainless steel finish. The electrodes have high-precision sensors that transmit currents with information about your body from your feet to the scale. The electrodes are further self-calibrating, making the setup process easy for you. Smart scales aren't perfect, and should never take the place of in-depth assessment from a medical provider. To provide more general, everyday insight into your health and fitness, however, smart scales can be very useful. Do smart scales require WiFi?
