Tanita BIA technology has been extensively validated against alternative body composition techniques and the findings have been published in international medical journals. Tanita monitors have been used in hundreds of independent research studies worldwide.
Scientific Excellence Recognized Worldwide
Tanita is regarded by the scientific community as the gold standard in BIA technology and the Tanita Medical Advisory Board ensures Tanita remains at the forefront of scientific advances. Extensive independent research has proven that the accurate prediction of body composition can only be determined if a range of parameters are included in an algorithm, such as gender, age, height, and weight.
Highest Levels of Clinical Accuracy
The original equations used in Tanita software were devised by world-renowned body composition expert Professor Steven Heymsfield and his research team at St Luke's Roosevelt Hospital, Columbia University, New York. Tanita equations are highly correlated to various Gold Standards in Body Composition including DEXA, Multiple Dilution Technique and CT scan.
