Why should I use a Body Composition Monitor?
Maintaining a fit and healthy body is more than just about weight. Here are the benefits for tracking your total body composition with an Omron Full Body Sensor.
 
 
 
What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method?
Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat and other body composition measurements in the privacy of your own home. Within seconds, BI sends an extremely weak signal to measure the inside of your body. Muscle, blood, bone and body tissue have high water content, which means they conduct the BI signal easily. Body fat, however, stores no water, so the BI signal is blocked or impeded from easily traveling throughout the body. The blocked signal (or high impedance) indicates the presence of more body fat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate and easy-to-use weight and body composition measurements, December 21, 2009

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
More than just a scale, this HBF-510W model by Omron measures several key components of body composition. In addition to providing weight (measured in either pounds or kilograms and in increments of 1/10), this Full Body Composition Monitor also offers body fat, visceral fat, body mass index, and skeletal muscle percentage. Overall body fat composition is important, as someone can be within a recommended weight range yet have too much or too little body fat. Similarly, visceral fat, the amount of fat in the abdomen surrounding vital internal organs, is also crucial, as it has been found to be linked to health conditions such as high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes. Body mass index is simply a number that takes into account both weight and height; I see it as being somewhat unnecessarily included here, as one could easily calculate it separately, although some may appreciate having this done for them. Finally, skeletal muscle is muscle that you can see and feel. The... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Too high on weight and body fat, November 22, 2009

This review is from: Omron HBF-510W Full Body Composition Monitor with Scale (Health and Beauty)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
This scale is sturdy and solid-feeling, and seems built to last, especially if you are on the larger side. I have been using a Tanita scale that feels much flimsier and even wobbly when I step on it, but I didn't get that feeling with this Omron scale. I also really like how you can program in your information (age, gender, height, etc.) so that you don't have to enter it each time you use the scale.

That being said, this scale seems to run a few pounds high in weight and also a few percentage points over on body fat; it just isn't accurate. How do I know this? Last year, I had a Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scan performed to check my bone density, and it also revealed my body fat and weight. DEXA scans are considered to be one of the gold standard measurements, and are extremely accurate. I've been using the information from my DEXA scan to track my progress on my Tanita scale, and this Omron scale has been giving me a reading that is three pounds over my... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Price for Body Composition, March 19, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Omron HBF-510W Full Body Composition Monitor with Scale (Health and Beauty)
I was very happy to find a scale that did a full body composition at a price lower than $80. So far, after about 5 uses, the accuracy seems right on. Each trial returns similar results and matches very close to the scale I use at the gym I go to. It doesn't have a memory option to store previous test results, but I have planned on recording my own results in a spreadsheet anyway so that is not a big loss for me.
