Tanita's Body Composition Analysers utilise Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology to make an indirect measurement of body composition. A safe electrical signal is sent through the body via footplates and hand held electrodes, housed in a single stand-alone unit. Taking only 30 seconds per patient, the simple body tape measure non-invasive procedure provides consistent and accurate readings. BIA is based on the fact that body tape measure lean tissue, such as body tape measure muscle and blood, contain high levels of water and electrolytes and therefore acts as a conductor of an electrical signal. Fat tissue is comparatively anhydrous and acts as a resistor to the flow of an electrical signal. Increasing levels of fat mass result in a higher impedance value and correspond to higher levels of body fat.
