Product Description
The Tanita BC-533 InnerScan Body Composition Monitor uses FDA cleared Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology in an innovative, circular design, which was designed for people with distinct taste and a passion for personal health. It delivers hi-tech readings in categories like weight, body fat %,muscle mass, physique rating, body water %, daily caloric intake (DCI) metabolic age, bone mass, and visceral fat. BIA is quick and non-invasive, and is one of the most thorough and reliable ways to measure body composition, clinically comparable to DXA (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) and hydrostatic (underwater) weighing. The BC-533 is one of Tanita’s bestselling body composition monitors, and is the perfect companion to help you achieve your health and wellness goals. The platform has a weight capacity of 330 pounds, and operates for greater than 2 years on four AA batteries (included).

Obtaining Personalize Body Composition Measurements Body Fat % and Body Fat Range will automatically appear on the display screen. After your body fat percentage has been calculated, a black bar will pop up the bottom of the display, identifying Body Fat Ranges. The Body Fat Ranges icons are -, O, +, ++ (- under, O healthy, + over, ++ obese). Body Measurement Icon Buttons To see the other body measurements press each icon button while the weight and Body Fat % is displayed. Note: The following reading are applicable only to adults aged 18 to 99 years. Ages 7-99 years will only see weight and Body Fat % body measurements. Visceral Fat %, Daily Caloric Intake, and Metabolic Age By pressing the button of a person with an oval in the abdomen area gives Visceral Fat % and will give a rating of O or + in the black box under the number. Healthy levels are 1 - 12 with a O rating, and the excess levels are 13 - 59 with a + rating. The button with a person with a battery icon will show both the Daily Caloric Intake (recommendation based on personalized body measurements) and the Metabolic Age. Body Water %, Muscle Mass, and Physique Rating By pressing the the %TBW measurement icon button you will see Total Body Water % on the display with a black box next to the measurement icons next to the display screen. The measurement icon button of person with weights will display the readings for the Muscle Mass and Physique Rating. Bone Mass, Weight, and Body Fat % The measurement icon button of person with bones will give you Bone Mass. The Bone Mass measurement is unlikely to undergo noticeable changes in the short term and is mostly use to tracking bone mass changes over time. The down arrow or Recall button will display weight and Body Fat % for ages 7 - 99 years old. What is physique rating? Physique rating assesses muscle and body fat measurements and rates the result as one of nine body types. There are nine results based off the body composition measurements, hidden obese, obese, solidly-built, under exercised, standard, standard muscular, thin, thin and muscular, and very muscular. The numbers are defined as follows: Hidden obese = high body fat % and low muscle massObese = high body fat % and moderate muscle massSolidly-built = high body fat % and high muscle massUnder exercised = average body fat % and less than average muscle massStandard = average body fat % and muscle massStandard muscular = average body fat % and higher than normal muscle massThin = lower than average body fat % and muscle massThin and muscular = low than average body fat % and adequate muscle massVery muscular = lower than average body fat % and above average muscle mass

Customer Reviews
For many years I used a digital scale that gave me a different readout each time I used it. I like to weigh daily but found that stepping up and down on the scale several times to get an average weight was frustrating. I thought that was the norm with scales until I started reading scale reviews and discovered that many people found the Tanita line to be accurate. If they weighed several times in a row they got a consistent readout. They did not have to take an average as I did with my Health-O-Meter. As a treat to myself, for losing 10 pounds, I decided to purchase a Tanita and after doing some research opted for the Tanita BC533.The Tanita BC533 is a state of the art scale that measures your weight (to two-tenths of a pound), body fat, visceral fat, bone mass, metabolic age and muscle mass. It is very simple to operate. You input your height, weight, average physical activity level and age. The Tanita will remember this information for up to four people so you only have to do it once, unless your information changes. (There is also a guest mode if a visitor wants to try it.) Once you have programmed the scale you toe tap your number, step on the platform and you will see your weight and body fat measurement. (Note - If you wear socks the body fat measurement will not work.) Then you can toe tap other buttons of your choice. A little figure gives you a visual cue as to what the buttons are. For example for muscle mass the figure is holding weights. For bone mass there is a tiny skeleton inside the figure. You decide which body composition features you wish to check. You may for example want to check your bone mass once a month, or then again you may want to check it weekly. It's up to you. It's as simple as pressing the corresponding button, and takes only seconds.Tanita has also introduced the Ironman Innerscan line. I was not sure of the difference so I called customer service. Amber went out of her way to explain the benefits of the Innerscan line, and the basic difference between the regular Innerscan and the Ironman. The Ironman gives you your BMI or basal metabolic caloric rate. This is the basic number of calories your body needs. The regular Innerscan (like the BC533) gives you your DCI instead. The DCI is a calculation where the BMI is multiplied by your activity level to tell you the number of calories you are taking in to maintain the weight you are. When you see this information you can then adjust up or down to help you gain or lose weight or stay the same. Nifty!Tanita includes a guide with the scale that explains exactly how the scale works. The scale is a bioimpedence device. A low level current (which you don't feel) passes through your body and the impedance or resistance level is used to calculate body composition. The booklet explains healthy ranges of body fat and also explains what body water percentage, visceral fat, etc. mean.The scale is also very attractive. Sleek styling and easy to use. Those with poor vision may find the buttons a little hard to see. But the visual clues will help. Despite the glass surface the scale stays very clean.The BC533 is an outstanding tool to help you accomplish your health goals!
