Why it is important to monitor your Body Mass Index (BMI):
Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. Obesity
has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and
some forms of cancer. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated
from a person's weight and height, and is a widely accepted
measurement of weight by most.
Always consult a physician before beginning any diet or exercise
program.
How Taylor's BMI Scale Works:
The scale will calculate your BMI based on your height and weight.
Once you input your height into the scale and step on the platform,
the scale will display your weight and your BMI number. A 16-point
bar graph will rank your BMI results as “Under”, “Normal”, or
“Over” recommended BMI levels for your height and weight.
Thank you for purchasing a Taylor® Precision Product. Your Taylor®
Scale is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. Please
read this instruction manual carefully before use. Keep these
instructions handy for future reference.
