Product Description

The Tanita BF-679W Multi-Frequency Body Fat / Body Water Monitor uses Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology to calculate body fat and body water levels. Tanita's exclusive FDA cleared BIA technology measures weight, body fat, and body water % by sending a safe, low-level electrical signal through the body. BIA is quick, non-invasive, and one of the most thorough and reliable ways to measure body composition, clinically comparable to DXA (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) and hydrostatic (underwater) weighing.

The BF-679W has a weight capacity of 300 pounds and operates for over 2 years on four AA batteries (included).

Total Body Water % Measurement

Total Body Water % is the total amount of fluid in the body expressed as a % of total body weight (applicable for ages 18-99). Body water levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day. Bodies tend to be dehydrated after a long night's sleep, and there are differences in fluid distribution throughout the day. Body water % should be used as a guide and should not be considered absolute. It is meant to track long-term changes in total body water % and maintain a consistent, healthy body water %.

The average TBW% ranges for a healthy person are: 45 to 60% for females and 50 to 65% for males. Note: Total body water % tends to decrease as the percentage of body fat increases. As you lose body fat, the total body water % should gradually move toward the average range.

Body Fat % Measurement

Body Fat Percentage is the proportion of fat to the total body weight (applicable for ages 7-99). Following body fat % measurement, a black bar will flash along the bottom of the display, identifying where the measurement falls within the Healthy Range Indicator. FDA CLEARED, DARE TO COMPARE!
