The UM-081 measures your weight and calculates your body fat % and body water % using bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA), the same highly accurate FDA cleared method used in all TANITA body fat and body composition products for more than 20 years. Foot pads send a low-level electrical signal through the body. The scale measures the resistance (impedance) to this signal. BIA passes freely through the fluids contained in muscle tissue, but encounters difficulty when passing through fat tissue, which contains little water. By using the impedance reading along with gender, age, height and weight, the scale can quickly and reliably calculate body fat and total body water.

Weight alone is not a clear indicator of good health because it does not distinguish between pounds that come from body fat and those that come from lean body mass or muscle. Carrying too much fat is a condition called obesity, and puts a person at risk for many serious medical conditions including heart disease, diabetes and even certain forms of cancer.

If you're like most people, you're not drinking enough water. If you wait until you feel thirsty, your body is already suffering from the effects of mild dehydration. You continually lose water during the day through sweat, urine, and breathing. Having the right amount of water in your body will not only make you feel healthier, but you'll also reduce your risk of developing serious health problems.

The Tanita UM-081 is designed for adults and children age 7 and older, and stores data for 2 people. This scale also features a guest mode, allowing you to use the unit without losing information already assigned to the personal keys. Simply supply your gender, age, height, step on the scale, and the UM-081 does the rest. The results are analyzed according to each user's information.

Tanita developed the world’s first body fat scale in 1992, and since then more than 30 million users in over 120 countries have trusted a TANITA product to help them achieve their health and fitness goals.
