Body fat percentage is the percentage of fat in your body. Too much body fat has been linked to conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other disabling conditions. Body Fat Ranges for Standard Adults 1, 2 Underfat Female 20­39 Age 40­59 60­79 0% Male 20­39 Age 40­59 60­79 Underfat Healthy Overfat Obese 10% 20% 30% 40% Healthy Overfat Obese 1 2 Based on NIH/WHO BMI Guidelines. As reported by Gallagher, et al, at NY Obesity Research Center. To determine the percentage of body fat that is appropriate for your body, consult your physician. 6. 7. Accessories 8. AA-Size Batteries (4) 8. The BIA Method Tanita's patented "foot-pad" design sends a safe, lowlevel electrical signal through the body to determine its composition. Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales use the BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) technique. In this method, a safe, low-level electrical signal is passed through the body. It is difficult for the signal to flow through fat in the human body, but easy to flow through moisture in the muscle and other body tissues. The difficulty with which a signal flows through a substance is called impedance. So the more resistance, or impedance, the signal encounters, the higher the body fat reading. PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE Inserting the Batteries Open the battery cover on the back of the measuring platform. Insert the supplied AA-batteries as indicated. Note: Be sure that the polarity of the batteries is set properly. If the batteries are incorrectly positioned the fluid may leak and damage floors. If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period of time, it is advisable to remove the batteries before storage. Open as shown. Body Fat Percentage Fluctuations in a Day Hydration levels in the body may affect body fat readings. Readings are usually highest in the early waking hours, since the body tends to be dehydrated after a long night's sleep. For the most accurate reading, a person should take a body fat percentage reading at a consistent time of day under consistent conditions. Besides this basic cycle of fluctuations in the daily body fat readings, variations may be caused by hydration changes in the body due to eating, drinking, menstruation, illness, exercising, and bathing. Daily body fat readings are unique to each person, and depend upon one's lifestyle, job and activities. Please note that since the batteries were inserted at the factory, their energy levels may have decreased. Direction of the batteries. Positioning the Monitor Place the measuring platform on a hard, flat surface where there is minimal vibration to ens ...
