What Is Total Body Water Percentage?

Total Body Water Percentage is the total amount of ﬂuid in a person’s body expressed as a percentage of their total weight.

Water plays a vital role in many of the body’s processes and is found in every cell, tissue and organ. Maintaining a healthy total body

water percentage ensures the body functions eciently and reduces the risk of developing associated health problems.

Your body water levels naturally ﬂuctuate throughout the day and night. Your body tends to be dehydrated after a long night's sleep

and there are dierences in ﬂuid distribution between day and night. Eating large meals, drinking alcohol, menstruation, illness,

exercising and bathing may cause variations in your hydration levels.

Your body water percentage reading should be used as a guide and should not be used to speciﬁcally determine your recommended

total body water percentage. It is important to look for long-term changes in total body water percentage and maintain a consistent,

healthy total body water percentage.

Drinking a large quantity of water in one sitting will not instantly change your body water level. In fact, it will increase your body fat

reading due to the additional weight gain. Please monitor all readings over time to track relative changes.

Every individual is dierent, but as a guide the average total body water percentage ranges for a healthy adult are:

Female: 45 to 60%

Male: 50 to 65%

Source: Tanita Research

Note: The total body water percentage will tend to decrease as the percentage of body fat increases. A person with a high percentage

of body fat may fall below the average body water percentage. As you lose body fat, the total body water percentage should gradually

move towards the typical range given above.

What Is Visceral Fat Rating?

This function indicates the amount of visceral fat in your body.

Visceral fat is the fat that is in the internal abdominal cavity, surrounding the vital organs in the abdominal area. Research shows that

even if your weight and body fat remains constant, as you get older the distribution of fat changes and is more likely to shift to the

abdominal area especially post menopause. Ensuring you have healthy levels of visceral fat may reduce the risk of certain diseases

such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and the onset of type 2 diabetes.

The Tanita Body Composition Monitor provides you with a visceral fat rating from 1 – 59.

Rating 1 - 12.5

Indicates you have a healthy amount of visceral fat. Continue monitoring your rating to ensure that it stays within this healthy range.

Rating 13 - 59

Indicates you have an excess amount of visceral fat. Consider making changes in your lifestyle by changing your diet or exercising more.

Note: You may have a high visceral fat level even if you have a low body fat rate.

What Is Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)?

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the minimum level of energy your body needs when at rest to function eectively. This includes the

functioning of your respiratory and circulatory organs, neural system, liver, kidneys, and other organs. You continue to burn calories

even when sleeping.

About 70% of the calories your body uses every day are used by your basal metabolism. In addition, energy is used when doing any

kind of activity. The more vigorous the activity, the more calories are burned. This is because skeletal muscle (which accounts for

approximately 40% of your body weight) acts as your metabolic engine and uses a large amount of energy. Your basal metabolism is

greatly aected by the amount of muscle you have, so increasing your muscle mass helps increase your basal metabolism.

By studying healthy individuals, scientists have found that people's metabolic rate change as they age. Basal metabolism rises as

achild grows. After peaking at the age of around 16 or 17, it typically starts to gradually decrease.

Having a higher basal metabolism increases the number of calories used and helps decrease the amount of body fat. A low basal

metabolic rate makes it harder to lose body fat and overall weight.

How Does a Tanita Body Composition Monitor Calculate BMR?

The basic method of calculating Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is a standard equation that uses weight and age.

Tanita has conducted in-depth clinical research into the relationship of BMR and body composition resulting in a much more accurate

and personalized reading for the user based on impedance measurements. This method has been medically validated using indirect

calorimetry (measuring breathcomposition).*

What Is Metabolic Age?

This function calculates your BMR and indicates the average age associated with the type of metabolism.

If your metabolic age is higher than your actual age, it is an indication that you need to improve your metabolic rate. Increased exercise

builds healthy muscle tissue, which improves your metabolic age.

The reading is shown as a number between 12 and 90. Values under 12 are displayed as “12” and over 90 are displayed as “90”.

(Applicable age 18-99)

What Is Muscle Mass?

This function indicates the weight of muscle in your body. The muscle mass displayed includes skeletal muscle, smooth muscle

(such as cardiac and digestive muscle) and the water contained in these muscles.

Muscles play an important role as they act as an engine that consumes energy. As your muscle mass increases, your energy

consumption increases helping you reduce excess body fat levels and lose weight in a healthy way.

The muscle mass is judged for persons aged 18 and over.

Muscle mass is judged by calculating the amount of muscle mass against the person’s height, and then the amount is

classiﬁed. The My Tanita app that links with this device displays the muscle mass judgement as a muscle score, as shown

below. The larger the number, the more muscle the person has.
