Please use a neutral detergent to clean the equipment. U When the equipment has been transferred to any location where there is a temperature difference of 20˚C or more, wait for at least two hours before using it. U In taking measurements, please keep the person away from the unit, who uses transmitters such as a mobile phone avoid causing margin errors.

Step on the weighing platform in bare feet. Make sure heels are placed on the posterior electrodes, and the front part of the feet are in contact with the anterior electrodes. 10.Measure the Impedance. When the grips are grasped with both hands, will appear at the bottom of the display and the impedance measurement will begin. The marks will disappear one by one during the measurement; after five full cycles, the measurement will be complete. m ●Grab the grips (two locations) only after the body weight figure on the display has stabilized. ●Do not step off the Weighting Platform until the “ ” symbols disappear completely. ●In cases when measurements of the body fat ratio or the quantity of fat are abnormally small or the error message (E01) is shown on the display, the probable reason is that the soles of the feet and the electrodes are not in full contact. Make sure you step on the Weighing Platform so there is contact between the electrodes and the soles of your feet. If the problem is not solved this way, it is possible that the soles of the feet have calluses and the resistance is too great. Therefore, place about 0.5 ml of water on each of the four electrodes where the feet touch before measurement. 11.Measurement Is Completed. Once the body weight and impedance measurements have been completed, the overall body fat percentage will be shown at the bottom of the display and a buzzer will sound. If the printer is ON, the measurement results will be printed out. * With regard to the measurement result, please refer to P. 22. If the printer is OFF, the measurement results (predicted muscle mass, fat mass, and body fat percentage) for each body part can be displayed using the ten-key pad. Select the number of the desired body part on the ten-key pad. [4]: Left arm [6]: Right ar [0]: Left leg [.]: Right leg [5] and [2]: Trunk * See page 13 for details on printer settings. Step off the Weighing Platform. 12.When You Continue to Measure. After printing is completed, go back to step 3. Measure by entering the data in the same procedure. 13.Finish Measurement.

Tanita is not responsible for the target body fat ratio. BMI:Body Mass Index is a height to weight ratio, and is calculated by the following formula: Weight (kg) Height (m2) Desirable Range 18.5 - 24.9 IMPEDANCE:Impedance reflects the body’s inherent resistance to an electrical current. Muscle acts as a conductor of the electrical current, adipose tissue acts as a resistor. BMR:Basal Metabolic Rate represents the total energy expended by the body to maintain normal functions at rest such as respiration and circulation. FAT MASS:Total weight of fat mass (in kg , lb) in the body. FAT%:The percentage of total body weight that is fat. FFM:Fat Free Mass is comprised of muscle, bone, tissue, water, and all other fat free mass in the body. PW:Predicted weight Calculated weight for the given Target BF%. FAT TO LOSE/GAIN: Calculated fat mass to lose or gain to achieve the Predicted Weight. PFM:Predicted fat mass Caluculated fat mass for the given Target BF%. TBW:Total Body Water is the amount of water (expressed as lb, kg, or st.lb) retained in the body. TBW is said to comprise between 50% - 70% of total body weight. Generally, men tend to have higher water weight than women due to a greater amount of muscle. PMS:Predicted Muscle Mass means bone-free lean tissue mass (LTM)

Introduction This device calculates body fat percentage, fat mass, fat free mass, and predicted muscle mass on the basis of data obtained by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). One of two settings must be selected when taking measurements: 1）Standard (for persons 7 ~ 99 years of age) 2）Athlete (sportsmen/women who exercise considerably more than non-athletes) Making a distinction by body type in the measurement mode produces more reliable body composition measurements for athletes, whose body compositions differ from those of average persons. BIA is a means of measuring body composition – fat mass, predicted muscle mass, etc. – by measuring bioelectrical impedance in the body. Fat within the body allows almost no electricity to pass through, while electricity passes rather easily through water, much of which is found in muscles. The degree of difficulty with which electricity passes through a substance is known as the electrical resistance, and the percentage of fat and other body constituents can be inferred from measurements of this resistance. The Tanita Body Composition Analyzer measures body composition using a constant current source with a high frequency current (50kHz, 500μ A). The 8 electrodes are positioned so that electric current is supplied from the electrodes on the tips of the toes of both feet and the fingertips of both hands, and voltage is measured on the heel of both feet and the thenar side of both hands. The current flows into the upper limbs or lower limbs, depending on the body part(s) to be measured. W Principles of body composition measurement via 8-electrode BIA W Body impedance measurement methods In the conventional 4-electrode method, current is supplied from the electrodes at the tips of the toes on both feet, with the voltage measured on the heel. This current flows from one lower limb through the lower abdomen and then into the other lower limb, and the bioelectrical impedance (hereinafter, “impedance,”) thus measured is the impedance between the two feet. In the newly developed 8- electrode method, however, current is supplied from the tips of the toes of both feet and the fingertips of both hands, and the voltage is measured on the heel of both feet and the thenar side of both hands. This method allows five different impedance measurements to be made – whole body, right leg, left leg, right arm, and left arm – by switching the part of the body in which the current is flowing and the location where the voltage is measured. When measuring impedance in the right leg, for instance, the current flows between the right hand and foot, and the voltage between both feet is measured. For reference, the impedance measurement methods for the respective body parts are shown in the diagram below. Technical Notes Whole body Left leg Right leg Right arm Left arm Current Voltage Impedance measurement methods for the respective body parts

however, that impedance can vary due to changes in the quantity and distribution of body water, which accounts for approximately 60% of body weight, as well as changes in body temperature. Therefore, when measurements are being taken for research purposes or on a daily basis, uniform measurement conditions must be ensured. Consideration should be given to two types of changes in impedance: inter-day changes and intra-day fluctuation (cyclic changes within a single day). In the 8-electrode method, full body measurements use the impedance between the arms and legs, while measurements for specific body parts use the impedance of those particular body parts. The reasons for changes in impedance are different for the upper limbs and the lower limbs. Given that the impedance of the trunk is extremely low (a mere 5-10% of the impedance between hands and feet), changes involving the trunk can be almost wholly ignored when measuring the impedance between hands and feet, and the changes for the upper and lower limbs are synthesized. When studying intra-day and inter-day changes with the 8-electrode method, it is thus necessary to determine the respective changes for the upper and lower limbs. 1) Intra-day fluctuations (cyclic activity within a single day) Peripheral impedance ordinarily rises during sleep and falls during activity. This is believed to occur because extracellular fluid, typified by the blood, moves to the trunk during sleep, reducing the extracellular fluid in peripheral areas and thus increasing impedance, and because the extracellular fluid returns to peripheral areas during activity, causing a drop in impedance. Intra-day activities during this cycle cause changes in body water volume and distribution due to the consumption of food and drink as well as exercise. The charts on page 33 illustrate one example of intra-day activities. The changes in weight, impedance, and body fat percentage are shown on the respective vertical axes, while the measurement times are shown on the horizontal axes (plotted points indicate the variation from the average change). Increases in body weight occurred following the consumption of food or drink, and a sharp decrease was seen between 20:00 and 22:00 because of a bath. The impedance between the hands and feet, as mentioned earlier, synthesizes the changes in impedance of the upper limbs and the lower limbs. During the two or three hours of digestion and absorption that followed breakfast and lunch, a decrease occurred in the impedance of both the upper and lower limbs, but the degree of change was larger in the lower limbs than in the upper limbs. This is because the impedance of the upper limbs temporarily increased due to the impact of specific dynamic action (SDA) from the meals but then turned downward as the body fluid mass increased. No such increase or decrease in impedance due to SDA was seen, though, in the lower limbs. After supper, the lower level of activity caused an increase due to lessened extracellular fluid in peripheral areas at the same time that upper and lower limb impedance fell due to digestion and absorption; as a result no clear trend could be seen. Among the particularly large changes that occurred were decreases in impedance while taking baths and subsequent increases, increases and decreases attributable to exercise, and decreases after tasks such as carrying heavy objects that require use of the upper limbs. In the course of a single day, the largest intra-day change in the lower limbs was the decrease in impedance due to the flow of blood to the lower limbs (blood congestion). No clear trend was noted in impedance in the upper limbs over the course of a single day, but extremely large changes did occur as a result of certain activities in the daily routine. W Causes of errors in impedance measurements 38

The diagrams below offer examples of actual measurements made of inter-day changes. A study was done to determine the degree of change in the impedance between the feet during dehydration; the first two days represent a normal daily routine, while in the latter two days a state of dehydration was induced using a sauna. No significant inter-day change was measured in body weight, impedance between the feet, or body fat percentage during the normal daily routine. During the dehydrated state, however, a drop in body weight of 1kg was noted, with the impedance between the feet rising approximately 15Ωon the first day of dehydration and 30-35Ωon the second day. As a result, body fat percentage was up by around 1% on the first day of dehydration and by 1.5-2% on the second day. As mentioned earlier, impedance increases when body weight is reduced (such as by dehydration), and decreases when body weight is increased through excess consumption of food and drink. The inter-day change in impedance is thus inversely proportional to the change in body weight. These inter-day changes stem from such causes as: 1) Temporary increases in body weight (total body water) through overeating and overdrinking 2) Dehydration due to heavy sweating during vigorous exercise 3) Dehydration due to alcohol consumption or the use of diuretics 4) Dehydration due to heavy sweating during saunas, etc. Accordingly, it is recommended that instructions be provided to the subject to help eliminate these causes when accurate measurements are needed. kg Time Intra-day fluctuations (Weight) 6 1 6 0 .5 6 0 5 9 .5 5 9 5 8 .5 5 8 1 0：0 0 1 8 ：0 0 1 6 ：0 0 1 4 ：0 0 1 2 ：0 0 ＋5/13（Monday）◆5/14（Tuesday） ▲5/15（Wednesday）× 5/16（Thursday）1 0：0 0 1 8 ：0 0 1 6 ：0 0 1 4 ：0 0 1 2 ：0 0 Ω Time Intra-day fluctuations (Impedance value) 4 2 0 4 1 0 4 0 0 3 9 0 3 8 0 3 7 0 3 6 0 3 5 0 3 4 0 ＋5/13（Monday）◆5/14（Tuesday） ▲5/15（Wednesday）× 5/16（Thursday）％ Time Intra-day fluctuations (　%FAT) 2 2 2 1 2 0 1 9 1 8 1 7 1 0：0 0 1 8 ：0 0 1 6 ：0 0 1 4 ：0 0 1 2 ：0 0 ＋5/13（Monday）◆5/14（Tuesday） ▲5/15（Wednesday）× 5/16（Thursday）Inter-day changes in body fat percentage and impedance measured by BIA between the feet during normal daily routine and during dehydration 40

from the results of body composition measurement according to the BIA, A good relationship is shown in the BMR value based on actual breath analysis REE or R=0.9 (p<0.0001). These results were presented at the First Annual Nutrition Week (American College of Nutrition, American Society for Clinical Nutrition, American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, North American Association for the Study of Obesity) held in 2002 in San Diego. NOTE: This model has been calibrated for those between ages of 18-84. Those individuals outside of this age range may not be obtain accurate readings. As shown in Figure 1: the REE (BMR) has a stronger relationship to the FFM than to body weight, and a difference is visible between males and females in the distribution trends. We see that in principle that we should calculate from the FFM rather than by the old formula centered on the relationship with weight.
