What it is: The total mass of body skeletal muscle. The body has three types of muscles: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control (think biceps), smooth muscle contracts autonomously (or without any thought), and cardiac muscle makes up the main tissue of the heart's walls. According to Withings, normal ranges for muscle mass are: Ages 20-39: 75-89 percent for men, 63-75.5 percent for women Ages 40-59: 73-86 percent for men, 62-73.5 percent for women ages 60-79: 70-84 percent for men, 60-72.5 percent for women Why it matters: Higher muscle mass increases metabolic rate and prevents falls and illnesses, according to Pham. For example, a person who has a higher amount of their weight as muscle mass will burn more calories at rest compared to someone with a lower percentage of muscle mass. A higher level of muscle mass can also protect against developing diabetes, according to research published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. “Fat mass causes hypertension and diabetes due to insulin resistance,” says Pham. “As we age, we lose muscle mass and are more prone to falls. Loss of muscle mass causes loss of balance and strength as commonly seen in the elderly. This is why exercise is critical.”
Hey... That could have a couple of reasons. Pls check the sensors (back of the scale) if they are clean and the scale stands on even floor (to have the same pressure on all 4 stands). Regarding the (P), this is the memory function. So P1 is for the first person and P2 for the second person which is using the scale. You can save up to 10 different users. Here is a link to the instruction booklet. www.rossmax.com/downloads/IBs/OBM_IB_WF260_EN_SW.pdf
Can we use this scale with fitness center , or it should only use with particular users ?
I mean can many people use it ?
Can this weight scale with all these features operate WITHOUT being connected to any apps, mobile phone, computer, etc.?
Hi I cannot find muscle mass percentage explanation in the manual. Can you direct me to somewhere to get the info? Thks. Using wf262

There is not WF260 on app! Just WF262.. Why????
Dear, thank you for your comment. The WF260 ist not equipped with Bluetooth, that's why you can't find it in our APP.
Idk why mine always shows a wrong number. I weight 70 but it always says 50 -55 . And someone explain what the P means and what number to set it at
