PRINCIPLES OF ESTIMATING BODY FAT PERCENTAGE

Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales allow you to determine your body fat

percentage at home as easily as you measure your weight.

What is Body Fat Percentage?

Body fat percentage is the percentage of fat in your body. Too much body

fat has been linked to conditions such as high blood pressure, heart

disease, diabetes, cancer, and other disabling conditions.

With this device, persons 18 and 19 years old should use the evaluation

scale for persons 20 - 39 years old, and persons age 80 and over should

use the evaluation scale for persons age 60 - 79.

The BIA Method

Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales use the BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance

Analysis) technique. In this method, a safe, low-level electrical signal is

passed through the body. It is difficult for the signal to flow through fat in

the human body, but easy to flow through moisture in the muscle and other

body tissues. The difficulty with which a signal flows through a substance

is called impedance. So the more resistance, or impedance, the signal

encounters, the higher the body fat reading.

Body Fat Percentage Fluctuations in a Day

Hydration levels in the body may affect body fat readings. Readings are

usually highest in the early waking hours, since the body tends to be

dehydrated after a long night’s sleep. For the most accurate reading, a

person should take a body fat percentage reading at a consistent time of day

under consistent conditions.

Besides this basic cycle of fluctuations in the daily body fat readings,

variations may be caused by hydration changes in the body due to eating,

drinking, menstruation, illness, exercising, and bathing. Daily body fat

readings are unique to each person, and depend upon one’s lifestyle, job

and activities.
