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 />

(cautions for safety)<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 />

Printing position adjustment mark<br />

Adjust the position so that the mark on the form and cross symbol align exactly. ( page 19.)<br />

Assessment criteria<br />

GB<br />

GB<br />

How to use<br />

(cautions for safety)<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 />

2.40 kg<br />

75 kg and over<br />

2.95 kg<br />

Men : Average of estimated bone mass (kg)<br />

Weight<br />

Less than 65 kg<br />

2.66 kg<br />

65 kg – 95 kg<br />

3.29 kg<br />

95 kg and over<br />

3.69 kg<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 />

GB<br />

When necessary<br />

(cautions for safety)<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
