Page 22: Body Composition Guide
TANITA Body Composition Monitors calculate your body composition using Dual Frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). Safe, low-level electrical signals are passed through the body via the TANITA foot pads on the monitor platform. The signal can flow easily through fluids in muscles and other body tissue but meets resistance as it passes through body fat, because body fat only contains a small amount of fluid. - Page 23 What Is Body Fat Percentage? Body fat percentage is the amount of body fat as a proportion of your body weight. Reducing excess levels of body fat has been clinically proven to reduce the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

- Page 25 The basic method of calculating Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is a standard equation that uses weight and age. TANITA has conducted in-depth clinical research into the relationship of BMR and body composition resulting in a much more accurate and personalized reading for the user based on impedance measurements. This method has been medically validated using indirect calorimetry (measuring breathcomposition).*...
