TANITA's BF-679W FDA Cleared Multi-Frequency Weight / Body Fat / Body Water Scale : Health & Household

Description

The Tanita BF-679W Multi-Frequency Body Fat / Body Water Monitor calculates body fat and body water levels using Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology. By sending a safe, low-level electrical signal through the body, Tanita’s exclusive FDA cleared BIA technology, measures weight, body fat, and body water %. BIA is quick and non-invasive, and is one of the most thorough and reliable ways to measure body composition, clinically comparable to DXA (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) and hydrostatic (underwater) weighing. The BF-679W features a weight capacity of 300 pounds, it operates for greater than 2 years on four AA batteries (included). Total Body Water % is the total amount of fluid in the body expressed as a % of total body weight (applicable for ages 18-99). Body water levels naturally fluctuate through out the day. Bodies tend to be dehydrated after a long night sleep and there are difference in fluid distribution between parts of the day. Body water % should act as a guide and should not be used as an absolute. It is meant to be used to track long-term changes in the total body water % and maintain a consistent, healthy body water %. The average TBW% ranges for a healthy person are: 45 to 60% for females and 50 to 65% for males Note: Total body water % will tend to decrease as the percentage of body fat increases. A person with a high % of body fat may fall below the average body water %. As you lose body fat, the total body water % should gradually move toward the average range. Body Fat Percentage is the proportion of fat to the total body weight (applicable for ages 7-99). Following body fat % measurement, a black bar will flash along the bottom of the display, identifying where the measurement falls within the Healthy Range Indicator.
