The TANITA body fat monitor/weighing scale uses BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) technology. This method of body fat analysis has high repeatability a...

Body Composition Analyzers are completely different devices than traditional weighing scales because they measure and calculate what material is in your bod...

Independent research at several major universities (including Columbia University in New York City) has confirmed that in clinical settings, the TANITA Body...

TANITA uses the variables: height, age, gender, weight and impedance to determine body composition. These variables are used in a algorithms and calculation...

Non-segmental platform devices can send electrical currents which help to analyze body composition to around the sternum, and then make an estimation of the...

TANITA algorithms for calculating body composition have been refined using large population studies and comparisons with measurements of fat mass, lean mass...

If you drink a pint of water and stand on the scales immediately, your weight will be higher with water in your stomach, but your impedance will not be chan...

The historical measurement results will not be updated with the full measurement results once you turn 18. However, you will see that from your 18th birthda...

The results of the measurements taken with BIA (How does TANITA measure body composition?) devices are always calculations and estimates based on the (measu...

In this manual you can find the explanation and ranges of some measurement results. Herein is described explanations of fat percentage, body water percentag...
