The TANITA weighing method shows us the composition of the body and thus provides insight into key health indicators. With an individual approach and expert advice, we measure the amount of muscle, water, adipose tissue, visceral adipose tissue, metabolic age and more. Body fat percentage is the weight of body fat in relation to total body weight, and visceral fat is located deep in the core of the abdomen. This fat surrounds and protects vital organs, such as the liver, pancreas and kidneys.
Body fat analysis
Body fat percentage is the weight of body fat in relation to total body weight.
Body fat fulfills important functions, such as keeping your body warm or protecting your organs. It is important, but its excess or deficiency is counterproductive for your health. A percentage that is too low means you probably need to change your diet and exercise regimen to increase your fat mass to a healthier level. A high fat percentage means you could benefit from more exercise and a healthier diet.
Visceral fat
Visceral fat is located deep in the core of the abdomen. This fat surrounds and protects vital organs, such as the liver, pancreas and kidneys.
Visceral fat is located on the inside of the muscle wall in the trunk of the body and protects the vital organs. Visceral fat is not visible on the outside of the body and you cannot squeeze it out. In addition to a healthy total body fat percentage, it is important to carefully monitor the amount of visceral fat. Especially as you get older. Too much visceral fat can lead to serious health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes or hypertension.
BMI analysis
A standardized ratio of weight to height, used as a general indicator of health.
Indeks tjelesne mase (BMI) široko je korišten pokazatelj zdravlja. Može se grubo izračunati dijeljenjem Vaše tjelesne težine (u kilogramima) s vašom visinom (u metrima).
Analysis of muscle mass
The weight of the muscles in your body.
Muscles act as an engine for energy consumption. As your muscle mass increases, so does the rate at which you burn energy (calories). This speeds up your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and helps reduce excess body fat. This is how you lose weight in a healthy way. High muscle mass may reduce the risk of developing diabetes in adulthood. The more skeletal muscle mass, the easier it is for the body to regulate insulin levels and minimize excess fat tissue. In older people, muscle mass is particularly important for maintaining mobility, supporting joints and maintaining good balance, which reduces the risk of falls and fractures.
Body water analysis
Body water percentage is the amount of fluid in the body.
Water plays an important role in various body processes and is found in every cell, tissue and organ. The total percentage of body fluids decreases as the percentage of body fat increases. A person with a high body fat percentage can fall below the average body water percentage.
Metabolic age
Your Metabolic Age compares your BMR to the average for your age group.
Metabolic age is the result of a comparison between your BMR and your chronological age group. If your metabolic age is higher than your actual age, it may mean that your metabolism is not as efficient as it could be.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the minimum amount of energy or calories your body needs per day to function efficiently while at rest. This includes sleeping.
