Body Mass Index (BMI)

The Body Mass Index is the ration between height and weight squared. The BMI is meanwhile

accepted world-wide – also by WHO (World Health Organization) – helping to evaluate the state of

nutrition as well as the state of health of a person. The result is a tolerance value.

As the exact body length is one essential value we recommend to measure the patient by using

together with your ADE scale the height measuring rod model MZ 10019.

Start the scale as already described and take the weight. Then press the BMI key and use the

numeric key to indicate the height of the patient in cm. Confirm by using the ENTER key. The BMI is

calculated and displayed.

BMI below 18

•

The patient is not showing enough weight. Control nutrition to put on weight.

BMI between 18 and 20

•

The patient is slightly under weighed. If he feels well there is no need for a change..

BMI between 20 and 25

•

The patient is in the range of normal weight.

BMI between 25 and 30

•

The patient is slightly overweighed. A reduction of weight is indicated or, is necessary if the

state of health is already affected (e.g. diabetes, high end blood pressure, heart diseases).

BMI over 30

•

Reduction of weight is imperative. Also to visit a doctor is highly recommended.

The SEMI AUTO TARA key is used for example for weighing mother and child. The weight of the

mother will automatically be tared off and the display shows `0.00´. Taking up the baby in mother's

arms the scale will just indicate the weight of the baby.

By using the Preset TARA key any requested value can be put under tare by manually keying in this

selected tare value using the numeric keys. Confirmation is done by the ENTER key and can be re-

activated whenever requested.

By using the Zero key eventual irregularities occurred after start up the scale can be compensated by

setting the display back to zero.

Press the Hold key in case of unstable readout which might occur if for example the patient is not able

to stand still on the platform. The scale will hold the result displayed. After scale has been unloaded,

the result value is still readable and can be noted.

By using the Units key you may select the weighing mode (kg,lbs,st).
