Body composition meter

Manufactured by Tanita
Sourced in Japan

The Tanita Body Composition Meter is a digital device that measures and analyzes various body composition parameters, such as body weight, body fat percentage, and muscle mass. The device uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology to provide accurate measurements of these physical characteristics.

Measuring Body Composition Parameters

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Weight and height for each participant were measured using a body composition meter (Tanita, Tokyo, Japan), and their BMI was calculated. In addition, their abdominal fat composition (VFA and SFA) was determined by the standard method using automated computed tomography (FUJIFILM, Tokyo, Japan) with a special program for fat area measurement [18 (link)].

Assessment of Obesity and Glycemic Control

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We collected information about age, sex, self-reported medical history (yes/no), self-reported current symptoms (yes/no), hypnotic drugs (yes/no), regular exercise (yes/no), smoking habit (yes/no), and alcohol consumption (yes/no).
The weight and height of all participants were measured using a body composition meter (Tanita, Tokyo, Japan), and BMI was calculated. A BMI ≥25 was defined as overweight [15 (link)]. Fasting serum HbA1c concentrations were determined using a DM-JACK diabetes automatic analyzer (Kyowa Medex, Tokyo, Japan). An HbA1c value of ≥6.5% was defined as poor glycemic control [16 (link)].

Anthropometric and Serum Albumin Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Body weight and height were measured using a body composition meter (Tanita, Tokyo, Japan), and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated for each participant. Venous fasting blood samples were collected and the serum albumin concentration was determined using an automatic analyzer (Cobas C 702, Roche Diagnostics, Tokyo, Japan). Measurements of serum albumin concentrations were performed during the same period as the oral examinations.

Comprehensive Metabolic Assessment Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Height and body weight were measured using a body composition meter (Tanita, Tokyo, Japan). Waist circumference (WC) was measured, and BMI (weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) was calculated. In addition, an automatic blood pressure monitor (Omron Healthcare, Kyoto, Japan) was used to measure systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Venous blood samples were collected following an overnight fast, and a simultaneous multiitem automatic analyzer (Siemens Healthineers Japan, Tokyo, Japan) was used to determine serum biochemical markers, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) was determined using a diabetes automatic analyzer (Kyowa Medex, Tokyo, Japan).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
