Troubleshooting If you are experiencing problems, please check the following before asking for repairs. Problem Solution •Hold the handgrips and electrodes firmly with fingers and palms. Impedance •Stand barefoot on the platform when measuring. measurement •If the soles of the feet are dry, use a dropper to error apply about 0.5 mL of water before measurement. -
Page 41: Various Criteria
Various Criteria - What is body fat percentage? (Applicable age 5 to 99) Body fat percentage is the amount of body fat as a proportion of your body weight. Reducing excess levels of body fat has shown to reduce the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease,diabetes and cancer. - Page 42 Ensuring you, have healthy levels of visceral fat my reduce the risk of certain diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. The Tanita Body Composition Analyzer will provide you with a visceral fat rating from 1 to 59. Rating from 1 to 12 Indicates you have a healthy level of visceral fat.
- Page 43 The basic way of calculating Basal Metabolic Rate BMR is a standard equation using weight and age. Tanita has conducted in-depth research into the relationship of BMR and body composition giving a much more accurate and personalized reading for the user based on the impedance measurement. This method has been medically validated using indirect calorimetry (measuring the breath composition).*...
- Page 44 Various Criteria (continued) - What is muscle mass? (Applicable age 18 to 99) This feature indicates the weight of muscle in your body. The muscle mass displayed includes the skeletal muscles, smooth muscles (such as cardiac and digestive muscles) and the water contained in these muscles. Muscles play an important role as they act as an engine in consuming energy.

Page 46: Technical Notes
The Tanita Body Composition Analyzer measures body composition using a constant current source with a high frequency current (6.25kHz, 50kHz, 90μA). The 8 electrodes are positioned so that electric current is supplied from the electrodes on the tips of the toes of both feet, and voltage is measured on the heel of both feet. - Page 47 Tanita has developed the technology for measuring the VAT accumulation risk through bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in comparison with image analysis applied to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in addition to the established technology for measuring the percent of body fat.
- Page 48 Technical Notes (continued) - Factors giving errors in measurement In the BIA method, impedance is measured and the body composition is calculated based on the value. It is known that impedance changes by the amount of the total body water that occupies about 60% of weight and the change in its distribution and temperature change.
- Page 49 These inter-day changes stem from such causes as: 1) Temporary increases in body weight (total body water) through overeating and overdrinking 2) Dehydration due to heavy sweating during vigorous exercise 3) Dehydration due to alcohol consumption or the use of diuretics 4) Dehydration due to heavy sweating during saunas, etc.

Page 50: The Regression Formula For Basal Metabolic Rate (Bmr)
The Regression Formula for Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) value is known to be closely related with the Fat Free Mass (FFM). It is also correlated with body weight, but there are issues when it is calculated from the body weight without considering body composition evaluation. - Page 51 Figure 1 shows that the correlation between BMR and FFM is far stronger than the correlation between BMR and weight. The estimated regression equation for BMR developed through years of research by Tanita is extremely accurate because it reflects differences in individual body compositions and is calculated from the measured FFM.
