Body fat percentage is the percentage of fat in your body. Too much body fat has been linked to conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other disabling conditions.

The BIA Method Tanita's patented "foot-pad" design sends a safe, lowlevel electrical signal through the body to determine its composition. Tanita Body Fat Monitor/Scales use the BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) technique. In this method, a safe, low-level electrical signal is passed through the body. It is difficult for the signal to flow through fat in the human body, but easy to flow through moisture in the muscle and other body tissues. The difficulty with which a signal flows through a substance is called impedance. So the more resistance, or impedance, the signal encounters, the higher the body fat reading.
