Patent ID: 8380297

Claim:
A system for measuring percentage of body fat for a user, the system comprising: means for measuring body hydration and generating a signal representing a measured hydration value; means for selectively changing the measured hydration value to an adjusted hydration value based upon a first parameter to thereby reflect more accurately an actual hydration value for the user, in the event that the user is determined to be dehydrated based upon the first parameter, and generating a signal representing the adjusted hydration value; and means for measuring body fat percentage using the signal representing: a) the measured hydration value, in the event that the user is determined not to be dehydrated based upon the first parameter; or b) the adjusted hydration value in the event that the user is determined to be dehydrated based upon the first parameter and the means for selectively changing the measured hydration value changes the measured hydration value based upon the first parameter.
