The abbreviations in the BIA Information / Phase Angle section in the report or on the print out, refer to the body areas and electrode paths used for the measurement:


H-L: Hand-to-Leg measurement, representing the whole-body measurement (of the left side of the body)

RL: Right Leg

LL: Left Leg

RH: Right Hand

LH: Left Hand

L-L: Leg-to-Leg measurement

RH-RL: Right Hand to Right Leg


The figures displayed next to these abbreviations are the measured bioelectrical data, such as resistance, reactance and phase angle. These are measurement values used by the TANITA device to calculate the body-composition results. They values are displayed for each frequency that the device measures with.
