How It Works

All Tanita Monitors use Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA technology) to send a low, safe signal through the body. The signal passes freely through blood, water and fluids within muscle tissue, but meets resistance when it comes into contact with body fat.

The resistance reading is combined with your personal information such as weight, height, gender and age to give accurate body composition readings.

How Accurate Are Tanita Monitors?

Tanita monitors are universally recognised as being the most accurate monitors available on todays market. This reflects over 15 years of medical research into BIA and body composition at renowned Research Centres worldwide.

The technology used in Tanita Monitors is based on the same advanced technology incorporated in Tanita's Professional Body Composition Analysers, which are widely used by medical and fitness professionals around the world.

Who Can Use A Tanita Monitor?

Adults aged 18-99 can use all features. Children aged 7-18 years can use the Monitor for weight and body fat readings only.

Athlete mode can be used by adults involved in intense physical activity of 10 hours a week who have trained at this level in recent years and have a resting heart rate of 60 beats per minute or less.
