Body fat analysis monitors support the monitoring of specific diseases and conditions (particularly in the advanced stages of life), which are closely related to weight and body composition.
These monitors can be used to monitor health and to prevent disease and illnesses that may occur as a result of excessive deposits of fatty tissue. Besides the body weight - Body fat and Body water (MC-180 subdivides in intra- and extracellular water) are important measurement data, based on Impedance and Phase angle.
TANITA Body Fat Monitors are easy to use and do not require any special knowledge or experience. Used in conjunction with a PC, measurements can be recorded, stored and analysed.
Depending on the type of monitor connected all TANITA monitor readings will be available immediately for further processing. Reports are generated instead of monitor-specific print-outs, which in addition to presenting the respective figures, illustrate the results analysis and present trends in readings over a period of time in graph form.
Consequently, body composition monitors can be used to assess the effectiveness of diet and exercise.
When Taking a new reading a distinction should be made, depending on the type of monitor connected, between the possible operating modes of 'remote mode' and 'standard mode'. Naturally the 'Manual entry' option can also be selected in order to transfer readings manually from the monitor display to the input mask.
