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.

What Is Body Fat Percentage? (Applicable age 5-99) 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.

What Is Muscle Quality Score? (Applicable age 18 - 99) Muscle quality score indicates the “quality (state) of muscle” which changes according to factors such as age and fitness. The muscles of young people or those who exercise regularly is normally in a good state, but the state of muscles deteriorates in elderly people or those who do not get enough exercise.
