Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis

The Tanita Corporation pioneered the use of Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis for calculating body fat percentage. This method involves sending a low, safe electrical signal through the body to measure tissue resistance. The signal can travel easily through lean tissue and muscle and is impeded by fatty tissue. This results in a resistance figure, which is put into an equation with an individuals height, weight, gender and age to accurately determine body fat percentage.

 

This method of calculating body fat percentage is safe, affordable and unobtrusive. It has been tested by a variety of medical and educational institutions and found to correlate very closely with the professional methods of body fat measurement.
