KERN MFB body composition scale

The MFB body composition monitor from KERN impresses with its elegant design and comprehensive analysis functions. The Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) enables a reliable body structure analysis conveniently at home. It uses a low-frequency alternating current to determine the percentage of body fat, body water, muscle mass and bone. Furthermore, the KERN MFB has practical additional functions for calculating calorie requirements and BMI. The maximum load capacity is 182 kg.

The bioelectrical impedance analysis of the KERN MFB body analysis scale

With the MFB body analysis scale, the determination of the body composition is done intuitively via the integrated contact surfaces of the weighing plate. For optimal measurement results and good conductivity during bioelectrical impedance analysis, it is necessary to stand barefoot and balanced on the metal contacts. The constant signal of the low-frequency alternating current then generates an electromagnetic field in the body. The partial resistances of the measured impedance then serve as the basis for the body structure analysis and are shown in percentages on the LC display.
