Helping you get better results
Millions of pounds are spent every year on treating the side effects of obesity. It's a serious condition, known to contribute to Type 2 diabetes mellitus, heart disease, hypertension, stroke and some forms of cancer.
Obesity is currently defined as someone having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or more. However, both BMI calculations and weight scales can be misleading when assessing health and fitness levels.
The good news is that Tanita Body Composition Analysers not only measure BMI and weight but also categorise weight into body fat mass, fat free mass and total body water - all in a matter of seconds.
As part of a weight management or overall exercise programme, body composition analysis is not only a better indicator of health but also serves as a useful educational tool when speaking with clients. It can improve health outcomes and compliance by highlighting the relationship between proper diet and exercise and changes in body composition.
Tanita strongly believes that categorising weight into fat mass and water provides a better picture of health than weight or BMI alone. This information can add a new dimension to long-term health management.
It's part of the Tanita philosophy to continue researching and bringing new developments to our health monitoring technology. With an international advisory board and a proactive research network, Tanita remains at the forefront of the latest findings in the fields of obesity and body composition analysis. Our wide range of analysers and monitors meet the diverse needs of professionals working to help people lead healthier lives.
