The Body Composition MONITOR with Scale is easy to use. The monitor calculates the estimated values for body fat percentage with 12 levels, skeletal muscle percentage, resting metabolism and visceral fat level with two levels using the BI (Bioelectrical Impedance). The monitor also calculates the estimated BMI (Body Mass Index) in four ranges as well as weight. Push the power switch on, select your Personal Profile Number, and step onto the measurement platform. The personal memory function can be used to store data for up to four personal profiles. The memory function stores the measurement results for each personal profile from 1 day, 7 days, 30 days and 90 days ago.

program. BODY MASS INDEX AND IDEAL WEIGHT Everybody is concerned about their weight. But what is the basis for determining your ideal weight? The key is Body Mass Index. How to Calculate BMI BMI is short for Body Mass Index. This index uses the following simple formula to indicate the ratio between weight and height of a person. BMI = weight (lb) / height (inch) / height (inch) × 703 The OMRON HBF-500 uses the height information stored in your Personal Profile Number to calculate your BMI classification. Interpreting the BMI Result The above-mentioned indices refer to the values for obesity judgment proposed by WHO, the World Health Organization. 7.0 - 10.7� 10.8 - 14.5� 14.6 - 18.4� � 18.5 - 20.5� 20.6 - 22.7� 22.8 - 24.9� � 25.0 - 26.5� 26.6 - 28.2� 28.3 - 29.9� � 30.0 - 34.9� 35.0 - 39.9� 40.0 - 90.0 Less than 18.5� � 18.5 or more and less than 25� � 25 or more and less than 30� � 30 or more� � � � � - (Underweight)� � 0 (Normal)� � + (Overweight)� � ++ (Obese)� � � � BMI� BMI (Designation by the WHO)� BMI Classification Bar BMI Rating Let’s look at an example WEIGHT BMI BMI CLASSIFICATION Example of display: • Weight: 162.8 lb • BMI: 27.7 • BMI Classification + USEFUL INFORMATION

Although BMI calculates a simple obesity level, there is also hidden fat that not revealed by a BMI designation. Although both cases are for people of similar height and weight, and their BMI designation are normal, the body fat percentage for case B is high. That is, although case B has normal body weight, the actual fat level is high, revealing the “hidden fat.” This hidden fat may lead to increased susceptibility to common diseases, even though the BMI designation is normal. Body fat percentage classification 7 CaseA CaseB F 34 5' 7 7/8" 144.0 lb 22.0� (Normal) Gender Age Height Weight BMI Body fat percentage F 34 5' 7 1/2" 141.0 lb 21.8� (Normal) 27.2%� Normal 34.5%� High Examples of hidden fat When most people think of body fat, they have a negative image of it. However, body fat serves a vital role in storing energy, protecting internal organs, etc. While too much body fat may be unhealthy, having too little may also be unhealthy. The distribution of body fat in men and women is different, so the basis of classifying the body fat percentage for males is different than for females. BODY FAT PERCENTAGE Let’s look at an example Example of display: • Body Fat Percentage: 29.3 % • Body Fat Percentage Classification: 0 BODY FAT PERCENTAGE CLASSIFICATION Interpreting the Body Fat Percentage Result Based on NIH/WHO guidelines for BMI Based on Gallagher et al., American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 72, Sept. 2000 Female Male Age 20-39 40-59 60-79 20-39 40-59 60-79 Low (–) < 21.0 < 23.0 < 24.0 < 8.0 < 11.0 < 13.0 Normal (0) 21.0 - 32.9 23.0 - 33.9 24.0 - 35.9 8.0 - 19.9 11.0 - 21.9 13.0 - 24.9 High (+) Very High (++) 33.0 - 38.9 34.0 - 39.9 36.0 - 41.9 20.0 - 24.9 22.0 - 27.9 25.0 - 29.9 39.0 40.0 42.0 25.0 28.0 30.0 Gender

Visceral fat = fat surrounding the internal organs Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased levels of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In order to prevent or improve conditions of these common diseases, it is important to try and reduce the visceral fat levels to an acceptable level. Subcutaneous fat = fat below the skin Subcutaneous fat not only accumulates around the stomach but also around the upper arms, hips and thighs, and can cause a distortion of the body’s proportions. Although not directly linked to increased risk of disease, it is thought to increase pressure on the heart and may be associated with other complications. Subcutaneous fat is not displayed separately in this unit, but is included in the body fat percentage. 8 MRI Cross Section of at the Navel Level Interpreting the Visceral Fat Level Result Let’s look at an example Example of display: • Visceral Fat Classification: 0 • Visceral Fat: 5 VISCERAL FAT LEVEL/ VISCERAL FAT CLASSIFICATION Visceral Fat Level 9 >__ Visceral Fat Level 10 >__ 0 (Normal) + (High) Visceral fat area (0 - Approx. 300 cm2, 1 inch=2.54 cm) distribution with 30 levels.

Skeletal muscle is muscle that is connected to bone and used to move parts of the body. The maintenance and increase of this skeletal muscle is closely linked to resting metabolism. What is resting metabolism? Regardless of your activity level, a minimum level of energy is required to sustain the body's everyday functions. Resting metabolism, the amount of calories needed to supply the body with the minimum level of energy, differs between individuals depending on variables such as age, weight, body composition, and energy expenditure. 60-70% of daily energy use is for resting metabolism The total amount of energy burned by the body in a typical day is as follows. The ratio of these is 60%-70% for resting metabolism, 20%-30% for daily activity, and 10% for diet induced thermogenesis. This means that resting metabolism accounts for most of our daily energy consumption. If our daily food intake exceeds the amount of energy required for these activities, the additional energy is stored as fat. Food Daily activity metabolism Diet-induced thermogenesis Resting metabolism Calories Calories Resting metabolism Daily activity metabolism Diet-induced thermogenesis Energy required to maintain vital functions. Energy used for daily activities such as commuting to work, household chores, hobbies, etc. Energy emitted after eating a meal. Let’s look at an example RESTING METABOLISM Example of display: • Resting Metabolism: 1186 kcal Example of display: • Skeletal Muscle Percentage: 28.1% SKELETAL MUSCLE PERCENTAGE

Muscle is divided into two types, muscle in internal organs, such as the heart, and muscle attached to bones that is used to move the body. Skeletal muscle can be increased through exercise and other activity. Resting metabolism reduces as we get older Resting metabolism level peaks in the late teenage years and then gradually reduces over the years. This leads to reductions in the body’s functions as we get older and in particular, it is one of the main causes for muscle reduction as we get older. Even when not being used to move parts of the body, muscles burn energy throughout the day to generate heat for the body which is part of the resting metabolism. As the amount of muscle decreases, so does the amount of energy burned. If people continue to eat the same amount of food as when they are younger, then they develop “middle-age spread.” In order to avoid this, it is important to know your resting metabolism and maintain muscles through exercise.

A starvation diet produces rapid weight loss of 20 lb, � but disrupts body mass... A healthy diet � with weight loss of 20 lb...� � Lean body mass reduction (muscle, bone, etc.): 14 lb Fat reduction: 18 lb Lean body mass reduction (muscle, bone, etc.): 2 lb Change in body fat percentage� � Before diet: After diet: 36.0% 36.9% Body fat percentage Lean body mass (muscle, bone, etc.) greatly reduced, while the body fat percentage has not changed. Change in body fat percentage� � Before diet: After diet: 36.0% 28.3% Body fat percentage Body fat percentage reduced to a normal level. LONG-TERM PLANNING FOR SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS Ignoring a balanced diet and simply reducing food intake to lose weight can lead to a decline in muscle and bone. So even though your weight goes down, your resting metabolism is reduced making the body more prone to putting on fat. Example comparing the same loss of 20 lb: Repeated dieting and regaining weight leads to increased visceral fat levels It is easy to regain weight after sudden diets. This regained weight tends to appear as visceral fat rather then subcutaneous fat. Increased visceral fat levels are thought to increase the likelihood of common diseases. Repeated dieting and subsequent regaining of weight may lead to increased visceral fat levels. *This is an extreme case of the effect.

What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method? The HBF-500 estimates the body fat percentage by the Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) method. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues with high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The HBF-500 sends an extremely weak electrical current of 50 kHz and less than 500 µA through your body to determine the amount of each tissue. This weak electrical current is not felt while operating the HBF-500. How to Calculate the Body Composition The following methods have been the established method for accurate evaluation of body composition. Body Fat Percentage: This is based on the DXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) method, which uses two different x-rays to make a quantitative assessment of the amount of fat in the body. Resting Metabolism: This is based on exhalation analysis, where the composition of exhaled air is analyzed. This makes it possible to calculate the resting metabolism by measuring the consumption of oxygen in exhaled air. Visceral Fat Level: This is based on MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) analysis, which uses nuclear magnetic resonance to make non-intrusive images of the body. This makes it possible to calculate the area of visceral fat at cross section of abdomen. Skeletal Muscle Percentage: This is based on MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) analysis, which uses nuclear magnetic resonance to make non-intrusive images of the body. This makes it possible to calculate the amount of skeletal muscle in the body. Omron has developed a formula referring to the above methods. The body composition is calculated by a formula that includes five factors: electrical resistance, height, weight, age and gender. Measures the whole body to avoid the influence of fluctuations The ratios of the water in your upper body and lower body may change through the day. This means that the electrical impedance of the body also varies. Since the HBF-500 uses electrodes for both the hands and feet to take measurements, it can reduce the influence of water movement on measurement results. 12

Understanding the normal changes in your body fat percentage can help you in preventing or reducing obesity. Being aware of the times when the body fat percentages shift within your own daily schedule will assist you in obtaining an accurate trending of your body fat. It is recommended to use this unit in the same environment and daily circumstances. Reference the chart below: Avoid Taking Measurements Under the Following Conditions If a measurement is taken under the following physical conditions, the calculated body composition may differ significantly from the actual one because the water content in the body is changing: Immediately after vigorous exercise, after a bath or sauna, after drinking alcohol, after drinking a large amount of water or after a meal (1 to 2 hours). 13 Daily activities Waking up Breakfast Lunch Taking a bath or eating dinner Going to bed 2 hours 2 hours 2 hours After waking up Before lunch and about 2 hours or more after breakfast In the afternoon about 2 hours or more after lunch and before taking a bath or eating dinner Before going to bed and about 2 hours or more after dinner or bath Recommended time Recommended time Recommended time Recommended time Avoid measurement immediately after eating or bathing.

There are certain conditions when significant differences may occur between the estimated and the actual body fat values. These differences may be related to changing ratios of body fluid and/or body composition. The body fat percentage measured by this monitor may significantly differ from the actual body fat percentage in the following situations: • Elderly people • People with a fever • Body builders or highly trained athletes • Persons undergoing dialysis • Persons with osteoporosis who have very low bone density • Pregnant women • Post-menopausal women • Persons with edema (Swelling in the body) • Children in growth stage 14 Ope
