Why does the weight at the hospital say I’m 60.6kg and at home it says 61.4kg?

 There are a few reasons why your weight might be different at the hospital and at home.


Different scales. Hospital scales are typically more accurate than home scales. They are also calibrated more often, which means that they are less likely to be off by a few pounds.

Time of day. Your weight can fluctuate throughout the day, depending on what you have eaten and how much water you have drunk. It is best to weigh yourself at the same time each day to get the most accurate reading.

Clothing and footwear. When you weigh yourself at the hospital, you are typically asked to remove your shoes and clothing. This ensures that you are getting an accurate reading of your weight. When you weigh yourself at home, you may still be wearing some clothing and footwear, which can add a few pounds to your weight.

Other factors. Other factors that can affect your weight include exercise, illness, and menstruation. If you have recently started exercising, been sick, or had your period, your weight may be slightly different than it usually is.

If you are concerned about the difference in your weight between the hospital and home, talk to your doctor. They can help you to determine the cause of the difference and recommend ways to get a more accurate reading of your weight at home.


Here are some tips for getting an accurate weight reading at home:


Weigh yourself at the same time each day.

Weigh yourself before you eat or drink anything.

Weigh yourself without any clothes or footwear on.

Stand on the scale evenly and keep your feet still.

Wait until the scale has stopped moving before you write down your weight.

If you have any questions or concerns about your weight, please talk to your doctor.
