Tanita BC545 Segmental Body Composition Monitor

Model No: Tanita BC545

The Tanita BC545 Designed for the dedicated sports and fitness person to assess the impact of any training routine on their total and segmental body composition, this totally unique product gives individual body composition readings for each of 5 body segments • each arm • each leg • the trunk area. The retractable hand-grips allow full body composition to be taken quickly and with increased accuracy. A calendar function is included, and comparison graphs show a history for each segment of the body and for each of the body composition readings, so that the user can see their progress, day by day, week by week and month by month over a 3 year period. The backlit buttons and animated illustrations are clear and user-friendly.

The user stands on four footplates on the platform of the scale and gently pulls the hand electrodes that are conveniently housed in the base using retractable connecting cables. The monitor will then send a safe low signal from the 8 hand and footplate electrodes through the body. The resistance to the measurement (known as Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis or BIA) is then fed into researched equations to provide accurate and personalized body composition readings

The technology used on the home use body composition monitors is based on the same advanced technology found in Tanita's professional body composition analysers widely used by doctors, medical centres and by professional athletic teams, fitness clubs and personal trainers around the world.

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic say "Normal weight obesity is really a way of being more precise about obesity, because the real definition of obesity is excess body fat. Using body fat to determine normal weight obesity was a more precise way of determining health risks than BMI. Women should be no more than 30 per cent fat and men no more that 20 per cent".
