MC-180 MA Advanced technology Multi-Frequency(1) flow outside of cell Cell ICW transmit cell membrane ECW low-frequency current high-frequency current Low frequency current is unable to pass the cell membrane and it flows outside the cell. High frequency current is able to penetrate the cell membrane and can also flow within the cell.

MC-180 MA Advanced technology Reactance / Resistance(1) Morning Evening ECW: Increase by daily fluctuation ICW: No change The primary cause of daily fluctuation is changes in impedance value, because the ECW (i. e. intercellular water, blood, lymph fluid, etc. ) moves between arms, legs and trunk. The change of impedance value significantly affects the estimation of body composition.

MC-180 MA Advanced technology Reactance / Resistance(2) MC-180 MA not only uses impedance values in the conventional way, but also adopts reactance values that can be acquired by breaking down impedance values under a regression formula to reduce daily fluctuation.

MC-180 MA Advanced technology Dilution method(1) er k ar M Body Water Marker TBW : D 2 O ECW : Na. Br Total body water (TBW) and Extra cellular water (ECW) are measured by correlations of dilution method and BIA. A known concentration of marker is administered to the body, and the total water content of the body is calculated from the degree of dilution.

MC-180 MA Technical Notes Body Fat In MC-180, Body Fat % and Fat Mass are measured by correlation of DXA and BIA. MC-180 evaluates segmental Fat data. These data is used to check a figure and body balance.

MC-180 MA Technical Notes Total Body Water, Intra / Extra Water TBW (45 -65%) ECW (30 -50%) fat, protein, mineral etc. ICW TBW ECW and ICW including blood and lymph ECW consists interstitial fluid, blood plasma, lymph etc. Edema is the state that interstitial fluid has increased. ICW the fluid that exists in the cell ICW tends to increase to the muscular person because muscle tissue contains a lot of water.

It is neither a normal value nor a standard value. adult -female- ECW ICW 25% 30% TBW 50% Factor that influences body water In elderly , ICW decreases because the muscle mass reduce. In female, TBW and ICW are little than male, because the amount of muscle is comparatively few. Adipose tissue don't contain water, therefore, in obese person, ICW is a little.

MC-180 MA Technical Notes Visceral Fat Rating Visceral fat is accumulated when becoming aged. TANITA has been researching the method of measuring the visceral BMI 25 fat, and established the method (Age 27 Male) (Age 61 Male) to estimate it from BIA. In TANITA body composition analyzer, visceral fat rating is evaluated by correlations of the Visceral Adipose Tissue area in MRI and BIA. Rating from 1 - 12 Indicates you have a healthy level of visceral fat. Continue monitoring your rating to ensure that it stays within the healthy range. Rating from 13 – Indicates you have an excess level of visceral fat. Consider making changes in your lifestyle possibly through diet.

MC-180 MA Technical Notes Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) The BMR is more determined by the Fat Free Mass (FFM) than by the body weight. In MC-180, the BMR is estimated by the correlation of Breath Gas analysis and FFM. Of course, FFM is measured by the BIA method.

MC-180 MA Technical Notes Muscle Mass In MC-180, the muscle mass is measured by the method using the correlation of DXA and BIA. MC-180 evaluates segmental muscle mass. These are convenient to check the effect of training and rehabilitation.

MC-180 MA Technical Notes Estimated Bone Mass This feature indicates the amount of bone (bone mineral level, calcium or other minerals) in the body. • Persons described below may obtain varying readings and should take the values given for reference purposes only. - Elderly persons - Women during or after menopause - People receiving hormone therapy • “Estimated bone mass” is a value estimated statistically based on its correlation with the fat-free amount (tissues other than the fat). "Estimated bone mass" does not give a direct judgment on the hardness or strength of the bones or the risks of bone fractures. If you have concerns over your bones, you are recommended to consult a specialist physician.
