INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION  
PRINCIPLES OF FULL BODY SENSING CALCULATIONS  
What is Full Body Sensing?  
Full Body Sensing provides a comprehensive understanding of your body composition to help  
you reach and/or maintain your fitness goals. Unlike other body composition monitors that rely  
on foot-to-foot measurements, Omron’s monitor measures the whole body (arm to foot) which  
provides a clinically-proven accurate profile.  
How Omron calculates your body composition:  
Omron’s algorithm focuses on the Bioelectrical Impedance Method as well as height, weight,  
age and gender.  
Bioelectrical Impedance Method: The Omron Full Body Sensor Body Composition Monitor and  
Scale estimates the body fat percentage by the Bioelectrical Impedance Method. Muscles, blood, bones  
and body tissues with high water content conduct electricity easily. On the other hand, body fat does not  
store much water, therefore has little electric conductivity. The Omron Full Body Sensor Body  
Composition Monitor and Scale sends an extremely weak electrical current of 50 kHz and less than 500  
µA through your body to determine the amount of water in each tissue. You will not notice or feel the  
electrical current.  
The ratios of the water in your upper and lower body change throughout the day – as gravity pulls more  
water into your lower extremities. This means the electrical impedance of the body also varies – if more  
water is in your legs, other monitors such as foot-to-foot may show incorrect body fat readings. The  
Omron Full Body Sensor Body Composition Monitor and Scale takes measurements from both hands  
and feet – which reduces the influence water movement makes on your body composition results.

INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION  
BODY MASS INDEX  
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. BMI is a reliable  
indicator of body fatness for people. BMI does not measure body fat directly, but research has shown that  
BMI correlates to direct measures of body fat. BMI is used as a screening tool to identify possible weight  
problems for adults.  
BMI is calculated by using the following formula based on a ratio between your weight and height:  
BMI = weight (lb) / height (inches) / height (inches) × 703

BODY FAT  
Body fat serves a vital role in storing energy and protecting internal organs. We carry two types of fat in  
our bodies: 1) essential fat which is stored in small amounts to protect the body and 2) stored fat which is  
stocked for energy during physical activity. While too much body fat may be unhealthy, having too little  
fat can be just as unhealthy. Also, the distribution of body fat in men and women is different, so the basis  
for classifying the body fat percentage is different between the genders.

INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION  
VISCERAL FAT  
Visceral fat is found in the abdomen and surrounding vital organs. It is different from fat found directly  
underneath the skin, which is referred to as subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat can go largely unnoticed  
because it’s not visible to the naked eye. One way visceral fat can be seen is through Magnetic  
Resonance Imaging (MRI).  
MRI Cross Section at the Navel Level  
Subcutaneous Fat  
Visceral Fat  
Spine  
Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased levels of fat in the bloodstream, which  
may lead to conditions such as high cholesterol, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. In order to prevent or  
improve these conditions, it is important to try to reduce the amount of visceral fat levels to an acceptable  
level.

INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION  
RESTING METABOLISM  
Regardless of your activity level, a minimum level of caloric intake is required to sustain the body’s  
everyday functions. Known as the resting metabolism, this indicates how many calories you need to  
ingest in order to provide enough energy for your body to function.  
60-70% of daily energy use is for resting metabolism  
The total amount of energy used by the body in a typical day is as follows:  
Resting metabolism  
Energy required to maintain vital functions.  
Energy used for daily activities such as  
commuting to work, household chores,  
hobbies etc.  
Daily activity metabolism  
Diet-induced thermogenesis  
Energy emitted after eating a meal.  
The ratio of these is 60%-70% for resting metabolism, 20%-30% for daily activity, and 10% for diet  
induced thermogenesis. This means that resting metabolism accounts for most of our daily energy  
consumption.  
If our daily caloric intake exceeds the amount of energy required for these activities, the additional  
calories can be stored as fat.

INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION  
SKELETAL MUSCLE  
Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that we can see and feel. When you work out to increase muscle  
mass, skeletal muscle is being exercised. Skeletal muscles attach to the skeleton and come in pairs -- one  
muscle to move the bone in one direction and another to move it back the other way. Increasing skeletal  
muscle will increase your body’s energy requirements. The more muscle you have, the more calories  
your body will burn. Building skeletal muscle can help prevent “rebound” weight gain. The maintenance  
and increase of skeletal muscle is closely linked to resting metabolism rate.

BODY AGE  
Body age is based on your resting metabolism. Body age is calculated by using your weight, body fat  
percentage and skeletal muscle percentage to produce a guide to whether your body age is above or  
below the average for your actual age.

WARNING  
Contact your physician or healthcare provider before beginning a weight reduction or exercise  
program.  
LONG-TERM PLANNING FOR SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS  
There are lots of reasons for people to lose weight. To be healthier. To look better. To feel better. To have  
more energy.  
No matter what the reason, successful weight loss and healthy weight management depend on sensible  
goals and expectations. If you set sensible goals for yourself, chances are you'll be more likely to meet  
them and have a better chance of keeping the weight off.  
The foundation of a successful weight loss program remains a combination of a healthy diet and exercise  
customized for you. Simply reducing food intake to lose weight can lead to a decline in muscle mass and  
bone density. So even though your weight goes down, your resting metabolism is reduced making the  
body more prone to putting on fat. More skeletal muscle can prevent “rebound” weight gain.  
The Omron Full Body Sensor Body Composition Monitor and Scale tracks your progress by monitoring  
weight, skeletal muscle, body fat, BMI and resting metabolism rate to help you reach your goals.  
Here’s a comparison of losing weight quickly versus slowly:

Profile Number button. You can view results for 1 day, 7, 30, 90 and 180 days ago. The monitor  
automatically stores measurement readings for up to 187 days for each Personal Profile Number. When  
187 days of measurement readings are stored in the memory for that Personal Profile Number, the oldest  
record is deleted to save the most recent measurement reading.  
NOTES:  
• If a measurement was not taken on the exact day for 1 day, 7, 30, 90 and 180 days ago, measurement  
results stored in the memory as shown in the following chart will display.
