A safe electrical signal is sent through the body via footplates and hand held electrodes, housed in a single stand-alone unit. activities Taking only 30 seconds per patient, the simple non-invasive procedure provides consistent and accurate readings. BIA is based on the fact that lean tissue, such as 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 activities of fat mass result in a higher impedance value and correspond to higher levels of body fat. Today, Tanita BIA is recognised as a world leader in practical body composition analysis. *Jebb S, McCarthy D, Fry T, Prentice AM (2004).
