Page 22: Various Criteria
Various Criteria - What is body fat percentage? (Applicable age 7 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 23: What Is Total Body Water Percentage
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 31: Technical Notes
The Tanita Body Composition Analyzer measures body composition using a constant current source with a high frequency current (50kHz, 90μA). The 4 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 32 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 33 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 34: 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 35 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.
