Many studies are still
using the obsolete BMI (body mass index) that does not
take into account the differences between muscular
weight and fat. Tanita has re-invented BIA
(bioelectrical impedance analysis)--one of the most
accurate methods of determining body fat percentage.
BIA is based on the speed at which a safe, low
electrical signal passes through the muscle and fat in
the body, taking into account a person’s age, gender,
height and weight.
Tanita’s BIA method is a totally new,
comprehensive, and speedy process that calculates weight
and body fat simultaneously, while guaranteeing accuracy
and convenience. There
are no tabs, wires or greasy electrodes as associated
with other BIA methods.
