Tanita's wide variety of professional analyzers provide a detailed full body and segmental body composition analysis - weight, impedance, body fat percentage, body fat mass, body mass index (BMI), fat free mass, estimated muscle mass, total body water, and basal metabolic rate (BMR) for the entire body by using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) or Direct-Segmental Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (DSM-BIA) technology (two of the most thorough and reliable ways to measure body composition). All scales are built with Tanita's high standards, and many products feature a convenient carrying case, height rod, USB (Type B) RS232 outputs, software, and a remote display, guaranteeing long-lasting performance, even in the most demanding healthcare environments.

As the world-leader in providing scales for healthcare professionals, Tanita scales are more affordable and convenient than DEXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) or hydrostatic weighting, yet offer accuracy used in measuring multiple frequency BIA.
