Buyers Guide to the Best Body Fat MonitorIt is difficult to find objective information about body fat monitors, also known as body composition monitors. The following information is intended to make your search a little easier.
The “About” website, in its Health and Fitness section has several articles: Before You Buy a Body Fat Monitor, Top 6 Body Fat Monitors, What’s Your Body Fat? and Body Composition Basics.
A commercial site, Test Medical Symptons @ Home, contains a lengthy article, Understanding Body Fat Analysis, and a table, Primary Methods of Determining Body Fat.
The Five Star Review website provides a useful introduction to Tanita body composition monitors.
Tanita is one of the leading manufacturers, and a fair amount of information is available at the Tanita website. Available for download there are several pdf-file booklets, Live a Healthy Life, Understanding Body Fat Analysis and What You Should Know about Body Fat.
The Omron website contains detail of its HBF-306 and HBF-400 body fat analyzers, including a FAQ page. Other company websites include HoMedics, Soehnle, Terraillon and Conair.
Reviews Commercial websites like those of Amazon.com and Epinions provide user reviews of their products.
The DMN Forums website in October 2005 did a review of the Omron body fat analyzer. (A critical commentary on this review, from a nutritionist, is here.) A review of selected Tanita models is at the Fitness-Equipment website.
