Bio-impedancemetry body composition analyzer BC-554

digitalportablewith BMI calculation

BIA is quick and non-invasive, and is one of the most thorough and reliable ways to measure body composition, clinically comparable to DXA (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) and hydrostatic (underwater) weighing. The BC-554 is one of Tanita’s bestselling body composition monitors. This is a great health and fitness tool to keep on display in your bathroom since it comes equipped with Athlete Mode. The athlete mode was developed to provide a more accurate reading for athletic body types. Athletes tend to be physiologically different then standard adult body types, due to muscle mass and hydration level difference. These differences would skew the body fat reading as high, when taken in the standard adult mode. The BC-554 is one of Tanita’s bestselling body composition monitors.
