Body composition monitor
Full body sensing technology for a more accurate and precise body
composition measurement.

* Segmental (full body, trunk, legs and arms) subcutaneous and
skeletal muscle percentage
* Progress chart display
* Same age comparison
Information on Body Composition
-------------------------------
BMI
---
Everybody is concerned about their weight. But what is the basis
for determining your ideal weight? The key is BMI. BMI is short
for Body Mass Index. This index uses the following simple formula
to indicate the ratio between weight and height of a person.
BMI = Weight (Kg) / Height (M) / Height (M)
The Omron body composition monitor uses the height information
stored in your personal profile number to calculate your BMI.

Body
--------
Body serves a vital role in storing energy and protecting
internal organs. We carry two types of in our bodies.*
Essential which is stored in small as to protect the
body
* Adipose tissue (stored ) provides cushion and insulation ti
internal organs, covers the nerves, moves s throughout the
body and is the largest reserve of stored energy available for
activity.
While too much body may be uny, having too little
can be just as uny. Also, the distribution of body in
men and women is different, so the basis for classifying the body
percentage is different between the genders.
What is Body Percentage
Body percentage refers to the a of body mass in
regards to the total body weight expressed as a percentage.
Visceral
------------
Visceral is found in the abdomen and surrounding vital organ.
It is different from found directly underneath the skin,
which is referred to as subcutaneous . Visceral can go
largely unnoticed because it's not visible to the naked eye. One
way visceral can be seen is through Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI). Too much visceral is thought to be closely
linked to increased levels of in the bloodstream, which may
lead to conditions such as high cholesterol, heart disease and
type 2 es. In order to prevent or improve these conditions,
it is important to try to reduce the a of visceral
levels to an acceptable level.
Skeletal Muscle
---------------
What is skeletal muscle
-----------------------
Muscle is divided into two types, muscle in internal organs -
such as the heart and muscle attached to s that is used to
move the body. Skeletal muscle can be increased through exercise
and other activity.
What is skeletal muscle ratio
Refers to the a of skeletal muscle mass in regards to the
total body weight expressed as a percentage.
Skeletal muscle ratio (%) = {Skeletal muscle mass (kg) / Body
weight (kg)} x 100
This product uses BI (Bioelectrical Impedance) to calculate your
skeletal muscle mass. Keep skeletal muscle and strengthen it to
make corporeity not easily become . This product feature is
the measurement of skeletal muscle ratio. If you strengthen
skeletal muscle and improve basal sm, you will not get
easily.
Resting sm
Regardless of your activity level, a minimum level of energy is
required to sustain the body's everyday functions. Resting
sm, the a of calories needed to supply the body with
the minimum level of energy, differs between individuals
depending on variables such as age, weight, body composition and
energy expenditure.
What is Subcutaneous ?
-------------------------
Subcutaneous = below the skin
-------------------------------------
Subcutaneous not only accumulates around the stomach but also
around the upper arms, hips and thighs and can cause a distortion
of the body's propositions. Although not directly linked to
increased risk of disease, it is thought to increase pressure on
the heart and other complications.
Body Age
--------
Body age is based on your resting sm. Body age is
calculated by using your weight and body percentage to
produce a guide to judge whether your body age is above or below
the average for your actual age. To know your body age is useful
to improve your condition. Body age varies according to
Body composition and resting sm, even if your height and
weight is the same.

Listen to your body. Take control of your and live a
fuller life
Omron wants everyone to live a normal, y and well-balanced
life. The key is management. We all need to take
responsibility for our own .
Knowledge that empowers

Omron is renowned for designing advanced monitors for use by
medical professionals in clinics and hospitals. But we believe
prevention is more effective than any . Information
about your shouldn't just be available to your doctor. We
want to empower people to know and understand their bodies so
they can control illnesses or avoid them altogether. That's why
we offer care products that enable anyone to monitor their
in their own home, so they stay y and stay out of
hospital. When your body talks, we can help you listen.
Obesity Solutions
Our pursuit of an effective approach to obesity: Sensing of body
composition & lifestyle coupled with support to sustain effort
toward behavior improvement
"Natural" and "Moderate". Concept of obesity solution system
------------------------------------------------------------
Some people are athletic and others are not. Some want to build
up muscle while others want to lose weight. They all differ in
the types of exercise they need, as well as the a and
intensity. Taking this varying demand into consideration, we at
Omron have created the system to address obesity, which is
composed of measurement of body compositions, monitoring of
lifestyle patterns, followed by design for customized goals and
support to continue and accomplish the program. This system will
make it possible to effectively build up by improving
lifestyle patterns while incorporating exercise practice
naturally and moderately.
Risks of Obesity
-----------------------
Overweight and Obesity - Consequences
The primary concern of overweight and obesity is one of
and not appearance. Obesity is a serious disease with serious
risks.
Obesity Risks - Premature Death
--------------------------------------
* An estimated 300,000 deaths per year may be attributable to
obesity.
* The risk of death rises with increasing weight.
* Even moderate weight excess (10 to 20 pounds for a person of
average height) increases the risk of death, particularly among
adults aged 30 to 64 years.
* Individuals who are obese (BMI > 30) have a 50 to 100%
increased risk of premature death from all causes, compared to
individuals with a y weight.
