While Body Mass Index (BMI) has proved to be an effective screening tool on a population basis, it has recognised limitations when working on an individual level.

How Does Tanita BIA Work Tanita Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) operates by passing small electrical signals through the body between four footplates electrodes (and four hand electrodes in segmental Analysers). The conducting ability of body water is then used to calculate the amount of lean mass, body water, bone mass, basal metabolic rate and fat mass. By entering, gender, age and height a personal and highly accurate body composition report can be produced. How Accurate is Tanita BIA? Tanita validation studies are based on comparison with gold standard body composition techniques...
