Instructions<br />
GB<br />
GB<br />
Before use<br />
(cautions for safety)<br />
Do not take measurements<br />
immediately after strenuous<br />
exercise.<br />
For correct measurement<br />
Do not take measurements in areas<br />
subject to significant temperature<br />
changes.<br />
Do not attempt to take measurements<br />
after excessive consumption of either<br />
food or drink, or while dehydrated.<br />
Installation<br />
For accurate measurements<br />
This product is precisely manufactured and accurately calibrated. Please observe the following instructions to ensure best results.<br />
• Do not position in direct sunlight, in areas subject to airflow directly from an air conditioner, or near a heater.<br />
• Do not position in locations subject to significant temperature fluctuation.<br />
• Do not position in locations subject to high humidity or near a water supply.<br />
• Do not position on surfaces subject to strong vibration.<br />
• Do not position in close proximity to stored chemicals, or where gas is generated.<br />
Before use<br />
(cautions for safety)<br />
Prohibited<br />
The results may be erroneous. Please<br />
ensure that the individual being<br />
measured is sufficiently rested first.<br />
Prohibited<br />
The results may be erroneous. In the<br />
event of the product being moved<br />
somewhere with a temperature<br />
difference of 20˚C or more, do not use<br />
for at least 2 hours after such a<br />
relocation.<br />
Prohibited<br />
Measurements are significantly affected<br />
by changes in bodily water volume and<br />
body temperature. It is therefore<br />
recommended that measurements be<br />
taken after going to the toilet, and<br />
ideally measurements should be taken at<br />
the same time every day under the same<br />
conditions.<br />
• Do not use this equipment near other products that emit electromagnetic waves.<br />
Erroneous operation is possible as a result of interference with certain lighting equipment, medical instruments, and communications<br />
equipment (such as inverter fluorescent lighting, microwave therapy devices, and mobile<br />
phones), so these factors should be checked before use.<br />
Handling<br />
Storage<br />
Clean-up<br />
• Do not wash with water.<br />
• Avoid subjecting the equipment to excessive shock or vibration.<br />
• Do not unplug the power cord by pulling on the cord.<br />
• When it is not to be used for a prolonged period, turn off the power, and unplug the power cord.<br />
• Do not store on a surface subject to strong vibration.<br />
• Do not store in locations subject to high humidity or dust.<br />
• Do not store in locations subject to temperatures outside its storage range.<br />
• When it has not been used for a long time, confirm it can be operated correctly and safely before use.<br />
• Cover the main unit to prevent it from becoming dirty.<br />
•Do not wipe the equipment with hot water, benzene.<br />
Please use a damp cloth or a neutral detergent to clean the equipment, and wipe it dry with a dry cloth immediately<br />
afterwards.<br />
• Bare feet should be placed correctly on the electrode panel for<br />
measurement.<br />
Incorrect positioning may result in a lower fat % than is actually the case, or an error<br />
message may be shown.<br />
Feet should be positioned on the heel and toe electrodes on each side in roughly equal<br />
proportions as indicated in the illustration on the right.<br />
• Place arms straight down during measurement.<br />
Other positions may induce a lower than actual fat %, or an error message may be shown.<br />
• As far as possible, you should try to take measurements under the same conditions<br />
each day in order to determine any fluctuations.<br />
Otherwise, errors may be observed in the measured value. In order to enhance overall accuracy,<br />
measurements should be taken at the same time every day, but not during the three hours after getting<br />
up in the morning, or three hours after meals.<br />
• Clean any dust or dirt from the palms and soles of the feet before measurement.<br />
Such contaminants may induce a lower than actual fat %, or an error message may be shown.<br />
• Avoid contact between the arms and torso, and between the inner thighs.<br />
Such contact may induce a lower than actual fat %, or an error message may be shown. If they come<br />
into contact because the measurement is being taken while naked or partially naked, a dry towel or<br />
similar should be used as a barrier during measurement.<br />
<br />
<br />
Explanation of terminology<br />
This equipment and the attached instruction manual use expressions including terminology sited in the NAWI directive.<br />
Please review the following terminology explanations before use.<br />
• Max (Maximum capacity)<br />
This shows the maximum weight that can be measured by the scale.<br />
[Example] In the case of “Max = 270 kg”, it can be used to measure an individual up to 270 kg.<br />
* Individuals exceeding the weight capacity cannot be measured.<br />
•e(Minimum graduation)<br />
This shows the amount of one scale mark (graduation). In the case of a digital display, this shows the numeric interval value.<br />
[Example] In the case of e = 0.05 kg”, the display increases or decreases in intervals of 0.05 kg.<br />
•PT<br />
To measure the body weight more accurately, the “Preset Tare Deduction” function automatically subtracts the pre-input weight of the<br />
clothes (TARE). The pre-input weight of the clothes is called “Preset Tare” (PT).<br />
<br />
Temperature Range for Use : 5°C / 35°C<br />
Relative Humidity : 30% / 80%<br />
<br />
Monitoring any fluctuations is recommended for reference for the following types of<br />
people.<br />
• Patients undergoing artificial dialysis or with swellings<br />
Temperature Range of Environment : -10°C / 50°C<br />
Range of Relative Humidity : 10% / 90% (without condensation)<br />
To prevent malfunction, do not store the equipment in direct sunlight or subject it to significant changes in<br />
temperature. Do not store in damp or dusty areas, near a fire or where the equipment may be subject to vibration or<br />
shock.<br />

“Athletic”<br />
•It is recommended to select “Athletic” should be<br />
selected by individuals aged 18 or over who<br />
consider themselves to be athletes or to whom<br />
the following conditions apply. Measured values<br />
should be used for reference.<br />
•People who do 12 or more hours of training<br />
(exercise) a week<br />
•Members of gymnastics or sports organizations<br />
aiming to participate competitively<br />

Notes<br />
•For athletic individuals, the impedance<br />
used for measurement fluctuates<br />
significantly before and after competition<br />
or after hard training, so body<br />
composition calculated under such<br />
circumstances also changes, and accurate<br />
measurement may not be possible in<br />
some cases.<br />
•Even when athletic mode is selected for<br />
body type, individuals aged 17 or<br />
younger automatically revert to the<br />
standard setting.<br />

Whole body data<br />
Weight : Measured weight. Values based on BMI of 22 being defined as standard weight.<br />
Fat % : Indicates fat ratio of the weight.<br />
Fat mass : Indicates fat mass of the body.<br />
FFM : Weight of non-fat components (i.e. muscle, water, bone, etc.).<br />
Muscle mass :Indicates constituent mass other than fat and bone mineral. Muscle mass displayed by this equipment is the value<br />
including skeletal muscles, plain muscle (i.e. internal organs, etc.) and TBW.<br />
TBW : Indicates amount of total body water and is composed of blood, lymph fluid, intercellular fluid, intracellular fluid, etc.<br />
BMI : Calculated as weight (kg) divided by height squared (m) 2 . “22” is considered the optimum value, i.e. least susceptible to<br />
illness.<br />
Bone Mass : Indicates bone mineral level of all bones.<br />
* Standard values are for standard mode. These standard values should only be used as reference for athletic types. For 17 year-old or younger, only the fat % is<br />
displayed as the standard value. Muscle mass, TBW, and bone mass values should be used for reference.<br />
How to use<br />
(cautions for safety)<br />
<br />
<br />
Body type assessment based on fat % and muscle mass<br />
Body type is comprehensively assessed in accordance with the fat % and muscle mass.<br />
* Fat % only is displayed for 17 year-old or younger.<br />
Total Body Water (TBW)<br />
Indicates the amount of water included in the body, for example, blood, lymph fluid, intercellular fluids, intracellular fluids, etc. Body<br />
water functions to transport nutrition, collect waste products, and maintain your body temperature at a certain level. Appropriate fat<br />
% ranges are about 55~ 65% for male and 45~60% for female.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
ECW/TBW<br />
Body water can be roughly classified as intercellular and intracellular fluids, but the ratio differs depending on each person. It is known<br />
that this ratio is dependent on body composition rate, and obese individuals tend to have more intracellular fluid.<br />
* Not displayed for 17 year-old or younger.<br />
Visceral fat rating<br />
Visceral fat indicates the fat in the internal abdominal cavity and is not easily analysed visually. It can be used for health control by<br />
checking changes in long-term visceral fat ratings.<br />
* Not displayed for 17 year-old or younger.<br />
<br />
<br />
BMR/BMR analysis<br />
This equipment shows BMR categorized under three levels, namely : less, normal and more relative to average BMR values and<br />
statistical distribution per age group.<br />
* Not displayed for 17 year-old or younger.<br />
Segmental analysis<br />
Fat and muscle segmental analysis. Proportion and muscle training results can be confirmed figuratively. Fat content on the trunk,<br />
which is considered to be closely associated with lifestyle-related diseases, can easily be checked.<br />
* Graphs showing comparisons with the average are not displayed for 17 year-old or younger.<br />
<br />
Muscle mass balance<br />
Muscle mass balance between the left and right arms and legs is compared and analyzed. Loss of balance may indicate abnormal<br />
body function.<br />
* Graphs showing comparisons with the average are not displayed for 17 year-old or younger.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Body fat ranges<br />
The amount of fat in the trunk is divided by the lower legs value. Which part of the body (upper or lower segment) contains more fat<br />
can be assessed. As the fat ratio around the abdomen increases, so does this value.<br />
* Not displayed for 17 year-old or younger.<br />
Other information<br />
Reactance/resistance data is displayed. (Analysis results do not affect assessment.)<br />
•Measurement results for scale mode are printed in this segment.<br />
•In the case of 17 year-old or younger, the Rohrer index *** is printed. (*** changes in accordance with the measurement results.)<br />

How to use<br />

Assessment criteria based on fat % (targeted at 5 year-old or older) (Whole body)<br />
changes or increasing exercise.<br />
Source : Data from Columbia University (New York) & <strong>Tanita</strong> Institute (Tokyo)<br />
Note:<br />
•Even if you have a low body fat rate, you may have a high visceral fat level.<br />
•For medical diagnosis, consult your GP.<br />
• WHAT IS BONE MASS?<br />
This feature indicates the amount of bone (bone mineral level, calcium or other minerals) in the<br />
body.<br />
Research has shown that exercise and the development of muscle tissue are related to stronger, healthier bones.<br />
While bone structure is unlikely to make noticeable changes in a short period, it is important that you develop<br />
and maintain healthy bones by having a balanced diet and plenty of exercise. People worried about bone<br />
disease should consult their GP. People who suffer from osteoporosis or low bone densities due to advanced<br />
age, young age, pregnancy, hormonal treatment or other causes, may not get accurate estimates of their bone<br />
mass.<br />
How to use<br />
(cautions for safety)<br />
Below is the result of estimated bone masses of persons aged 20 to 40, who are said to have the largest<br />
amounts of bone masses, by weight. (Source : <strong>Tanita</strong> Body Weight Science Institute)<br />
Please use the charts below as a guide to compare your bone mass reading.<br />
Women : Average of estimated bone mass (kg)<br />
Weight<br />
Less than 50 kg<br />
1.95 kg<br />
50 kg – 75 kg<br />

65 kg – 95 kg<br />
3.29 kg<br />
95 kg and over<br />

Healthy Range Indicator<br />
Underfat : below the healthy body fat range. Increased risk for health problems.<br />
Healthy : within the healthy body fat percentage range for your age/gender.<br />
Overfat : above the healthy range. Increased risk for health problems.<br />
Obese : high above the healthy body fat range.<br />
Greatly increased risk of obesity-related health problems.<br />
• WHAT IS VISCERAL FAT RATING?<br />
This feature indicates the rating of visceral fat in your body.<br />
Visceral fat is the fat that is in the internal abdominal cavity, surrounding the vital organs in the trunk (abdominal)<br />
area. Research shows that, even if your weight and body fat remain constant, the distribution of fat changes as<br />
you get older and is more likely to shift to the trunk area - especially post menopause. Ensuring you have<br />
healthy levels of visceral fat may reduce the risk of certain diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure,<br />
and the onset of type 2 diabetes.<br />
The <strong>Tanita</strong> Body Composition Monitor will provide you with a visceral fat rating from 1 – 59.<br />
Note:<br />
•Persons described below may obtain varying readings and should take the values given for reference purposes<br />
only.<br />
- Elderly persons - Women during or after menopause<br />
- People receiving hormone therapy<br />
•“Estimated bone mass” is a value estimated statistically based on its correlation with the fat-free amount (tissues<br />
other than fat). "Estimated bone mass" does not give a direct judgement on the hardness or strength of the<br />
bones or the risks of bone fractures. If you have concerns about your bones, it is recommended that you<br />
consult a specialist.<br />
• WHAT IS MUSCLE MASS?<br />
This feature indicates the weight of muscle in your body. The muscle mass displayed includes the skeletal<br />
muscles, smooth muscles (such as cardiac and digestive muscles) and the water contained in these muscles.<br />
Muscles play an important role as they act as an engine in consuming energy. As your muscle mass Increases,<br />
your energy consumption increases, thus helping you to reduce excess body fat levels and lose weight in a<br />
healthy way.<br />
Rating from 1 – 12<br />
Indicates you have a healthy level of visceral fat. Continue monitoring your rating to ensure that it stays within<br />
the healthy range.<br />
40<br />
Rating from 13 – 59<br />
Indicates you have an excess level of visceral fat. Consider making changes in your lifestyle, possibly through diet<br />

Estimation of body composition using multifrequency<br />
8-electrode BIA method<br />
Introduction<br />
This system provides estimated values based on the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method for fat %, fat<br />
mass, FFM, muscle mass, and bone mass using the DXA method targeted at Europeans and Americans, and total<br />
body water (TBW) value measured by the dilution method.<br />
Select the appropriate mode based on the body type being measured.<br />
1) Standard (Target: 6~99 years old)<br />
2) Athletic (Sportsmen and women, etc. who do much more exercise than average)<br />
Reliability of the analysed body composition values for sportsmen, etc. who have a different body composition<br />
from average can be improved by providing a separate analysis mode per body type as above.<br />
• Principle of the body composition estimation based on BIA method<br />
• Multi-frequency measurement<br />
Water contained in the human body can roughly be roughly separated<br />
into two categories.<br />
ICW: Intercellular water<br />
ECW: Extracellular water (i.e. intercellular water, blood, etc.)<br />
Multi-frequency measurement can be used to measure these two types<br />
of water.<br />
When the human body is likened to an electrical circuit, the cell<br />
membrane that separates the ICW and ECW is considered to be a<br />
condenser. At low frequency, the cell membrane acts like a condenser and does not allow the electricity through,<br />
so electricity does not flow through the cells. Accordingly, impedance measured at low frequency has a significant<br />
correlation with ECW. At high frequency, the electric current flows through the cells via the cell membrane<br />
condenser. Impedance in this case has a significant correlation with TBW (total body water). ECW is estimated<br />
from the low-frequency results while TBW is estimated from the high-frequency results. ICW is calculated as the<br />
difference.<br />
GB<br />
When necessary<br />
(cautions for safety)<br />
BIA method refers to the method of estimating body composition by measuring the body’s impedance.<br />
Electrolytes within the body are naturally conductive. More electrolytes are contained in muscle and blood, but<br />
fairly few in fat, etc. In other words, electricity flows more easily through body tissue with more muscle and less fat<br />
while, conversely, electricity experiences more resistance in body tissue with less muscle and more fat.<br />
Using this fact, the component ratios of each can be estimated by measuring body impedance.<br />
• BIA based on 8-electrode method<br />
Using the conventional 4-electrode method, an electric current is supplied from electrodes near the toes of both<br />
feet and the voltage is measured at the heel. In this case, current flows from one lower leg to the other via the<br />
lower abdomen, and the measured body impedance (hereafter, impedance) is the impedance between both<br />
legs. Using the 8-electrode method, an electric current is supplied from electrodes at the ends of the fingers on<br />
both hands and the toes on both feet, and the voltage is measured at the ball of the thumbs on both hands and<br />
at the heels of both feet. This method enables measurement of impedance per segment – in other words for the<br />
whole body, right leg, left leg, right arm or left arm – by switching the points at which the current is applied and<br />
the voltage is measured. For example, to measure the impedance of the right leg, the current flows between the<br />
right hand and leg, and the voltage between both legs is measured.<br />
The impedance measurement method per segment is shown below for reference.<br />
• Reactance technology<br />
Reactance technology is a method that reduces<br />
fluctuations during the day when analysing body<br />
composition.<br />
The primary cause of fluctuations during the day is<br />
changes in impedance value, because the ECW (i.e.<br />
intercellular water, blood, lymph fluid, etc.) moves<br />
between the upper and lower legs and the trunk in<br />
accordance with food and drink intake, exercise, and<br />
changes in posture, etc. This impedance value<br />
fluctuation significantly affects the estimation of body<br />
composition values.<br />
In order to minimise the effects of such fluctuations,<br />
TANITA not only uses impedance values in the<br />
conventional way, but also adopts reactance values<br />
that can be acquired by breaking down impedance<br />
values under a regression formula to reduce<br />
fluctuations during the day.<br />
The examples on the right show an approximate 30%<br />
reduction in fluctuations during the day.<br />

•Reliability of body composition estimations based<br />
on the multi-frequency 8-electrode BIA method<br />
A regression formula derived from the<br />
multiple-regression analysis while specifying<br />
the height, weight, age, and impedance<br />
values between the arms and legs as<br />
variables is adopted for the fat %, fat mass,<br />
FFM, muscle mass, and total body water<br />
calculations using the body composition<br />
analyser in accordance with the data<br />
acquired from the DXA method and dilution<br />
method targeted at Europeans and<br />
Americans. The regression formula is created<br />
from segmental impedance based on the<br />
data also acquired from the DXA method for<br />
segmental fat %, fat mass, FFM, and muscle<br />
mass. The analysed body composition<br />
values calculated using this regression<br />
formula bear a close correlation with the<br />
calculations based on the DXA method or<br />
dilution method, and offer high<br />
reproducibility. As mentioned above, we can<br />
state that body composition analysis based<br />
on the BIA method is highly reliable.<br />
<br />
<br />
•Factors that affect measurement integrity<br />
The BIA method is used to measure impedance and calculate body composition based on the results. It is known<br />
that impedance fluctuates as a result of changes in the total body water – which accounts for about 60% by<br />
weight –, changes in its distribution status, and body temperature. Therefore, measurement conditions need to be<br />
fixed to use the data for studies and when repeated measurements are taken daily.<br />
Accordingly, we recommend that measurements be taken on the following in order to obtain steady values.<br />
1) Measurements should be taken at least three hours after getting up, assuming normal activity during this<br />
period. (If the person has been sedentary since rising or travelling by car, there is a high level of impedance<br />
changes.)<br />
2) Avoid taking measurements within three hours of eating. (Impedance tends to be lower during the three hours<br />
following a meal.)<br />
3) If strenuous exercise is undertaken, the next measurements should be taken at least 12 hours later. (Impedance<br />
tendency does not settle consistently in accordance with the type or level of exercise.)<br />
4) Urinate shortly before measurement.<br />
5) As far as possible, measurements should be taken at approximately the same time each day if done repeatedly.<br />
(Consistent timing together with measurement of weight enables comparison of stable values.)<br />
Stable values can be obtained if measurements are taken under the above conditions.<br />
The following six conditions were stipulated to obtain the regression formula when this equipment was<br />
developed.<br />
1) Prohibition on imbibing alcohol during the twelve hours before measurement<br />
2) Prohibition on strenuous exercise during the twelve hours before measurement<br />
3) Prohibition on excessive consumption of food or drink on the day before measurement<br />
4) Prohibition of intake of food or drink during the three hours before measurement<br />
5) Urination just before measurement<br />
6) Avoid measurements during menstruation (for female)<br />

• DXA method<br />
Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) uses two types<br />
of X-ray, and can distinguish anatomically between bone<br />
mineral, fat, and FFM based on the extent to which X-ray<br />
permeability differs between these substances.<br />
The DXA method is an accurate measurement method<br />
with minimum imposition compared with conventional<br />
immersed weighing. It can be applied to a wide range of<br />
individuals, including children and the elderly. Segmental<br />
measurements of arms and legs are also possible, and<br />
this has been used as the standard method for body<br />
composition analysis thus far.<br />
Results of the body composition based<br />
on DXA method (LUNAR DPX-L)<br />
• Dilution method<br />
The dilution method is used to calculate the total mass of a solvent containing a labelled substance by<br />
administering a known amount of the labelled substance and measuring the density at equilibrium.<br />
Heavy water (D2O) is generally used as the labelled substance to measure total body water (TBW). TBW can<br />
be calculated because the TBW is considered as dilution space for heavy water. Sodium bromide (NaBr) has<br />
been used as the labelled substance in the method to calculate ECW. It is known that bromine (Br) is not<br />
contained in cells, and is diluted in the ECW.<br />

2Fluctuations during the course of the day<br />
The following graphs are examples of fluctuations during the course of the day. This data was used to check how<br />
impedance levels between both legs change under dehydration status. Normal activities were performed for two<br />
days, while the data for the next two days shows the result of forced dehydration by taking a sauna.<br />
When normal activities are carried out, there is little fluctuation<br />
in weight, and impedance between both legs and the fat % do<br />
not fluctuate much during the day either. When dehydrated,<br />
the individual’s weight dropped by 1 kg, impedance between<br />
both legs increased by about 15 on day one while dehydrated,<br />
and increased by 30~35 on day two under the same<br />
conditions.<br />
As indicated above, impedance increased with a reduction in<br />
weight (dehydration) and, conversely, when weight increased<br />
as a result of excessive consumption of food or drink,<br />
impedance declined. Accordingly, in terms of daily fluctuations,<br />
changes in impedance are inversely related to changes in<br />
weight.<br />
The following may be the cause of fluctuations during the day.<br />
1) Temporary increase in weight (total body water) due to<br />
excess intake of food and drink<br />
2) Dehydration due to excessive sweating in relation to<br />
strenuous exercise<br />
3) Dehydration due to intake of alcohol or use of diuretic<br />
4) Dehydration due to excessive sweating by taking a sauna,<br />
etc.<br />
Accordingly, we recommend avoiding these factors when<br />
measurements are taken if accuracy is crucial.<br />

The New Regression Formula<br />
for Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)<br />
GB<br />
GB<br />
When necessary<br />
(cautions for safety)<br />
It has long been said among medical and nutritional specialists that "The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is determined<br />
more by the Fat Free Mass (FFM) than by the body weight" (Persons of a given body weight with a higher FFM<br />
will have a higher BMR) and that, from the aspect of evaluating body composition, should be estimated from the<br />
FFM. In addition, in cases of simple estimation formulae where calculations can be based on height, weight and<br />
age without evaluating body composition, there was a problem height, weight and age, without evaluating the<br />
body composition, there was a problem with excessively high evaluations being given to obese persons with a<br />
large body weight and, conversely, excessively small BMR evaluations given to muscular athletes, though these are<br />
not as many in number.<br />
Currently, the BMR estimation recursion formula developed by <strong>Tanita</strong>, the manufacturer of body composition<br />
analysers, and based on their research, works by multiple regressive analysis using this FFM, and has a higher<br />
degree of accuracy in terms of the individual differences in body composition. In order to derive the BMR, resting<br />
respiratory metabolism (Resting Energy Expenditure: REE) was measured using a breath gas analysis device, and<br />
this estimation recursion formula was created based on this data.<br />
The Relationship Between Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) According to Breath<br />
Gas Analysis and Weight, FFM<br />
(Presented at Nutrition Week, held in San Diego in 2002)<br />
As shown in Figure 1: the REE (BMR) has a stronger relationship to the FFM than to body weight, and a<br />
difference is visible between males and females in the distribution trends. We see that, in principle, we should<br />
calculate from the FFM rather than by the old formula centred on the relationship with weight.<br />
Comparison of BMR Values from the TANITA Multiple regression model and Breath<br />
Analysis<br />
(Presented at Nutrition Week held in San Diego in 2002)<br />
The current BMR retrogression formula is a formula that acts on the principle of using the FFM value from the<br />
results of body composition measurement according to the BIA, A good relationship is shown in the BMR value<br />
based on actual breath analysis REE or R=0.9 (p
