Measuring body fat with a Mi Scale 2 involves using a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) scale to estimate the proportion of fat and lean mass in the body. For instance, if a person weighs 150 pounds and has a body fat percentage of 25%, their body fat mass would be 37.5 pounds.
Body fat measurement is important for assessing overall health, as high body fat levels can increase the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Mi Scales 2 utilize BIA technology, which was first developed in the 1960s and has since become a widely used method for estimating body fat percentage.
