Tanita is the most well known and trusted name in body composition assessment since 1992. The BC-418 is the next level body analysis, offering better insight to where fat and muscle reside. The addition of handgrips to our standard platform-based electrode system allows the BC-418 to provide detailed body composition results broken into five separate segments of the body: right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg and trunk, in addition to overall results, empowering healthcare professionals to better determine health risk associated with abdominal fat. A handy printout shows results for BMI, BMR, Fat %, Fat Mass, Fat Free Mass, Total Body Water, and desirable ranges for Fat % and Fat mass. (Tanita is proud to introduce a significant improvement to the calculation of Basal Metabolic Rate, instead of simply relying on weight, age and gender, Tanita’s proprietary formula takes into account Fat Free Mass, providing a higher level of accuracy compared to current BMR formulas.) The all-in-one compact column mount design with integrated printer makes the durable BC-418 ideal for use in small dedicated spaces by fitness professionals, medical experts and researchers. For the best in accuracy, reliability, and value, think Tanita. (more…)
