WHAT IS MUSCLE MASS?
This feature indicates the weight of muscle in your body. The muscle mass displayed includes the skeletal muscles,
smooth muscles (such as cardiac and digestive muscles) and the water contained in these muscles.
Muscles play an important role as they act as an engine in consuming energy. As your muscle mass increases, your
energy consumption increases helping you reduce excess body fat levels and lose weight in a healthy way.
WHAT IS PHYSIQUE RATING?
This feature assesses your physique according to the ratio of body fat and muscle mass in your body.
As you become more active and reduce the amount of body fat, your physique rating will also change accordingly. Even
though your weight may not change, your muscle mass and body fat levels may be changing making you healthier and at
lower risk of certain diseases.
Each person should set their own goal of which physique they would like and follow a diet and fitness programe to meet
that goal.

WHAT IS BONE MASS?
This feature indicates the amount of bone (bone mineral level, calcium or other minerals) in the body.
Research has shown that exercise and the development of muscle tissue are related to stronger, healthier bones. While
bone structure is unlikely to make noticeable changes in a short period, it is important that you develop and maintain
healthy bones by having a balanced diet and plenty of exercise. People worried about bone disease should consult their
physician. People who suffer from osteoporosis or low bone densities due to advanced age, young age, pregnancy,
hormonal treatment or other causes, may not get accurate estimations of their bone mass.
Below is the result of estimated bone masses of persons aged 20 to 40, who are said to have the largest amounts of bone
masses, by weight. (Source : Tanita Body Weight Science Institute)
Please use the below charts as a guide to compare your bone mass reading.
Women : Average of estimated bone mass(lb)
Weight
Less than 110 lb 110lb - 165 lb 165 lb and up
4.3 lb 5.3 lb 6.5 lb
Men : Average of estimated bone mass(lb)
Weight
Less than 143 lb 143 lb - 209 lb 209 lb and up
5.9 lb 7.3 lb 8.1 lb
Note:
・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.
