Scales bc 418 ma

Manufactured by Tanita

Sourced in Japan

The Tanita Scales BC-418-MA is a body composition analyzer that measures various body composition parameters, including body weight, body fat percentage, and muscle mass. It uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology to provide these measurements. The device is designed for use in a laboratory or clinical setting.

Anthropometric Measurements for Obesity Evaluation

Body mass is measured using the bioelectrical impedance Tanita Scales BC-418-MA (Tanita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and stretch stature is measured using a portable stadiometer (Holtain, Crymych, UK). Body mass (kg) and stretch stature (cm) values are used to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) as body mass (kg) divided by height (m) squared. Waist (approximately 1 cm above the iliac crest) and hip (widest area around the gluteus maximus) circumferences are recorded and waist:hip ratio (WHR) calculated. These measurements are included as an indicator of abdominal obesity [35 ].

Anthropometric Measurements Protocol

Body weight (in kilograms) is measured using the bioelectrical impedance Tanita Scales BC-418-MA (Tanita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and height (in metres) using a portable stadiometer (Holtain, Crymych,UK). Weight and height are used to calculate body mass index (weight in kilograms/height in metres squared). Waist circumference (centimetres) is measured at approximately 1 cm above the iliac crest and hip circumference at the widest area around the gluteus maximus.

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.
