Tanita 521 Body Fat Scale @ BodyTrends Fitness Equipment store

Overweight means an excess of total body weight based on population averages for heights and body frame sizes. Athletes and very muscular people may be overweight, but that does not mean they are over fat. Obesity means an excess of body fat regardless of weight. Weight alone is not a clear indicator of good health because it does not distinguish between pounds that come from body fat and those that come from lean body mass or muscle. Carrying too much fat is a condition called obesity, and puts a person at risk for many serious medical conditions including heart disease, diabetes and even certain forms of cancer. Tanita's patented "foot pad" electrode design uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to determine body fat. Tanita has patented a revolutionary new way of measuring BIA that is faster, easier, less intrusive and includes a precision scale making this a simple one-step process. Tanita's monitor looks just like a bathroom scale. A person inputs age group, gender and height, then steps onto the platform. Electrodes in the foot sensor pads send a low, safe signal through the body. Weight is calculated automatically along with body fat content in less than a minute. All Body Fat Monitor/Scales and UltimateScales feature Tanita's patented BIA method. Tanita Body Fat Scales measure both weight and body fat in just seconds. The weight scale is a precision digital weightscale.

This method utilizes a "Skin fold Caliper" to pinch the skin at several predetermined sites and measure the thickness of that pinch. The results are then summarized and evaluated via several published methods or equations. These methods are usually based on large population studies, which took skin fold and hydrostatic weighing measurements and then attempted to find equations that manipulate the skin fold measurementsso that they match the hydrostatic weighing results. The reported validity of skin fold measurements is +/-6% at the very best and may be off much more due to several problems with measurement accuracy: Inter-operator error, measurements vary widely from technician to technician, technical errors, such as failure to identify the proper measurement site and failure to pinch only fat and no other tissue, the underlying assumption that subcutaneous fat represents the same percentage of total fat in every person, there are also problems opening skin fold calipers wide enough for very obese persons, resulting in underestimation.
