Five Reasons to Choose TANITA
- Unmatched Precision and Clinical Accuracy
TANITA’s body composition monitors are developed in collaboration with leading medical experts, ensuring the highest level of precision. The original prediction equations were created by renowned body composition expert Professor Steven Heymsfield and his team at St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital, Columbia University, New York. Independent research has confirmed that accurate body composition analysis requires a comprehensive algorithm factoring in parameters like gender, age, height, and weight. TANITA’s advanced 4C model takes accuracy even further by dividing body weight into four key components: body fat, body water, minerals, and protein. - Trusted by Experts Worldwide

Early detection of sarcopenia
Many medical specialists play a vital role in supporting the health and well-being of the elderly. Maintaining physical strength and muscle function is crucial for this population. Sarcopenia, a condition characterised by significant muscle loss, affects over 20% of people aged 65 and older, with rates reaching up to 70% in nursing homes. It leads to reduced muscle mass, decreased muscle function, and slower walking speeds, severely impacting mobility and quality of life. Early detection is essential to prevent its progression.
TANITA’s professional BIA monitors, including the MC-980 and MC-780 (when used with GMON Software), feature a unique sarcopenia index. This measurement identifies risks associated with sarcopenia, enabling early intervention and preventative care to improve outcomes for the elderly.
Healthy habits for happiness
TANITA is committed to promoting the power of healthy habits. By measuring and tracking your clients’ health, you encourage them to embrace a healthier way of living. Regular monitoring has been shown to increase the likelihood of forming new habits by up to 80%.
