Body composition: A better indicator of health than BMI.

Ability to Identify Health Risks
By tracking your body composition, you can detect changes that may affect your health and take action in time.
Why BMI is not enough to understand your health
At Yazen, we know that health is more than just a number on the scale. Body Mass Index (BMI) has long been used to assess overweight and obesity, but it doesn't give the full picture of your health. BMI does not take into account important factors such as muscle mass, fat distribution, and body composition.
Why is body composition important?
Body composition measures not only weight but also:
- Body fat percentage – Important for understanding your metabolic health.
- Muscle mass – A higher percentage of muscle is linked to better health.
- Visceral fat – Fat around the organs, which has a strong connection to heart disease.
Two people with the same BMI can have significantly different health statuses. Someone with high muscle mass and therefore a higher BMI may be much healthier than someone with a normal weight but high body fat percentage. Therefore, body composition is a better indicator of health than BMI alone.

Five simple steps:
- Open the box and take out the Body Pro 2 scale.
- Remove the plastic tab under the battery cover on the back.
- Installation starts automatically and the screen displays "Hello".
- If arrows appear on the screen, it means that your weight is not evenly distributed.
- Gently move the center of gravity in the direction the arrows indicate until they disappear.

Yazen + Withings: Measure, understand, and optimise your health
To help you get a more complete picture of your health, Yazen has teamed up with Withings, a leading player in health technology. Withings smart scales not only measure weight, but also body fat, muscle mass, and other important health markers.
Automatic sync to the Yazen app - for easy follow-up.
Your Withings Body Pro 2 is fully integrated with the Yazen app, which means that all of your measurements are automatically synced every time you step on the scale.
In the app, you can easily:
- Track your progress over time.
- Analyse your body composition in detail.
- Share your measurements with your doctor for more personalized and data-driven treatment.
With this seamless integration, you get a complete picture of your health - all in one place, without having to do anything manually.
How does the technology work?
Withings Body Pro 2 uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), a scientifically validated method where a weak, imperceptible electrical signal is sent through the body. Depending on the resistance the signal encounters, the scale can calculate the percentage of fat, muscle, water, and bone in the body. This method allows for tracking changes in your body composition over time - which is much more important than just looking at total weight.
How can you optimise your measurements?
- Measure at the same time every day, preferably in the morning before breakfast.
- Stand still and place your feet correctly on the scale for best results.
- Follow your trends over time instead of focusing on individual measurements.
