Body fat scale
- Question
- Dear Sir or Madam,
My body fat was determined in the gym by using a body fat scale with handle electrodes (fat < 9%, muscle mass about 43%). This measurement is said to be not very exact.
Is is possible that in CF individuals additional measuring errors can occur due to the for sure altered skin impedance? If this is the case, in which direction would the result be falsified?
Best regards,
Christian H.
- Answer
- Hello,
A reliable measurement is also possible in CF individuals. For interpreting the results it is however – as always – necessary to have experience with the method. Please speak to your CF team (nutritionist, physician).
Best regards,
