Page 25: Technical Notes
The Tanita Body Composition Analyzer measures body composition using a constant current source with a high frequency current (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 26 - Factors giving errors in measurement 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 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 4) Dehydration due to heavy sweating during saunas, etc.
