4. TOTAL BODY WATER:
TBW
• Intracellular Water - indicates the amount of water
within the cellular membrane.
• Extracellular indicates the total amount of water in
the interstitial fluid and blood.
5. DRY LEAN MASS - PROTEIN/MINERALS
Dry Lean Mass is the total body mass minus the water
and the fat mass. It is composed primarily of proteins
and mineral.
• Protein is solid in body cells, comprised of polymers
of organic compounds, including nitrogen, and is a
major component of muscle. Protein is directly
related to intracellular water. A lack of protein can be
indicative of poor nutrition.
6. BODY FAT MASS:
•
indicates the total quantity of lipids that can be
extracted from fat and all other cells. BIA technology
does not directly measure Body Fat Mass, but is
determined as being the remaining poundage value
after subtracting Lean Body Mass from the total body
weight.
• Body Fat Mass is found stored under the skin, in
visceral areas, and between muscles.

8. BODY MASS INDEX
• BMI
an index used to determine obesity by using height
and weight.
• The BMI method has been widely relied on in general
medicine, dietary, and sports medicine fields as the
main means of diagnosing obesity. However, this
method is flawed in that it cannot be applied to
adults with high levels of LBM, children, those over
the age of 65, or pregnant females.
9. BMI RANGES:
BMI Rating Rating Status
- 18.5 Underweight
18.5—24.9 Normal
25.0—29.9 Overweight
30.0 + Obese
BMI Rating Health Risk
19—24 Minimal
25—26 Low
27—29 Moderate
30—34 High
35—39 Very High
40 + Extremely High
13. BASAL METABOLIC RATE:
• BMR indicates the minimum energy required to
sustain vital functions while at rest.
• Lean Mass is the largest plays a significant role in
disease risk/prevention due to its function in health
and functional mobility for those of older age.
• Daily activities and exercise increase BMR by
approximately 15%. BMR helps you establish just
how many calories your body needs in a day to
achieve proper energy balance.
14. WAIST-HIP RATIO:
• Where you store fat can be a predictor of health risk.
• The waist-to-hip (WTH) ratio is a common measure
of fat distribution. Your WTH ratio can help you track
your weight loss progress, while also serving as a
warning about your estimated health risk for
problems related to being overweight, such as
diabetes, stroke and heart disease

18. BODY FATS
WHY DO I NEED TO MONITOR MY BODY FAT?
• We all need some body fat to be healthy. It's vital for basic body
functions like regulating body temperature, storing vitamins and
cushioning joints and organs.
• But too much fat can damage your health and could put you at
greater risk of developing serious medical conditions. Excess body
fat is known to contribute to heart disease, high blood pressure,
Type 2 diabetes mellitus and some forms of cancer.
• Too little body fat may lead to osteoporosis in later years, irregular
periods in women and possible infertility. Over an extended
period of time, this can lead to other health risks such as the loss
of bone mass.
19. VISCERAL FATS
Visceral Fat (Abdominal Fat) is the fat that surrounds the vital
organs on the trunk / stomach area of the body.
• High Visceral Fat levels increase the risk of high blood
pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Lowering
Visceral Fat levels can stabilize insulin action substantially,
and reduce the risk of diabetes and other related illnesses.
• Body fat is not always visible to the naked eye. You may
have an acceptable weight and figure, but could still be
carrying more body fat than you think.
20. • Weight alone cannot distinguish between the pounds
that come from body fat and those that come from
lean body tissue, such as muscle and bone.
• Reducing excess body fat will help you improve your
body shape and appearance. You'll feel better, look
better and enjoy a better, fitter quality of life.

23. Physique Rating
Assesses muscle and body fat levels and rates the result as one of nine body
types.
• As a person increases their activity levels, their weight may not change but
their balance of body fat and muscle may alter which will change the user's
overall physique.
The Physique Rating on Tanita Body Composition Monitors offers the user
the opportunity to track their Physique as they follow their health / fitness
programme.
According to body fat and muscle mass levels the Monitor will assess your
physique into the following categories.
•

26. Muscle Mass
The predicted weight of muscle in your body.
• Muscle mass includes the skeletal muscles, smooth muscles such as cardiac and digestive muscles and
the water contained in these muscles. Muscles act as an engine in consuming energy.
As your muscle mass increases, the rate at which you burn energy (calories) increases which accelerates
your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and helps you reduce excess body fat levels and lose weight in a
healthy way.
A high level of muscle mass can reduce the risk developing diabetes in adulthood. More skeletal muscle
means more insulin receptor sites, which help with the uptake and regulation of glucose (sugar)
deposited in the bloodstream after eating. 80% of glucose uptake occurs in skeletal muscle so the more
there is, the easier it is for the body to regulate insulin levels and minimize excess fat.
In the elderly, muscle mass is particularly important for maintaining mobility, supporting the joints and
in maintaining good balance, thereby helping to minimize the risk of falls and fractures. A good or high
level of muscle mass is also fast becoming recognized as a key indicator for longevity. Muscle tissue
naturally declines with age. A person can lose up to 50% of their muscle mass between the ages of 20
and 90 – another reason why it is important to keep muscle mass levels within the healthy range at
every life stage.
27. BONE MASS
The estimated weight of bone mineral in your body.
This result is reached through statistical calculation based
on research findings that there is a close correlation with
bone weight and FFM (Fat Free Mass).
While your bone mass is unlikely to undergo noticeable
changes in the short term, it’s important to maintain
healthy bones by having a balanced diet rich in calcium and
by doing plenty of weight-bearing exercise. You should track
your bone mass over time and look for any long term
changes.
You may refer to the following estimated result of bone
masses of persons aged 20 to 40 as a guide to compare your
bone mass reading.
