Features of the Product

More accurate measurement of the entire body

As measurement is conducted between both upper and lower limbs, the measurement values are less affected by the variation of physique as compared to traditional body fat monitors.

Visceral fat is displayed in 30 levels

Visceral fat is closely related to lifestyle-related diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia.

* OMRON BF500 can help you check your visceral fat level easily.

Easily check skeletal muscle percentage

Skeletal muscle is displayed as a percentage.

The unit only measures skeletal muscle, muscle connected to bone and used to move the body. It does not include smooth muscle, found in internal organs.

Display of BMI and resting metabolism

In addition to calculating body fat percentage, it can also access your health using the

BMI method*1, while taking your physique into consideration. It estimates the resting metabolism from personal data input and the measured body weight. Use those calculated values as reference for planning your weight reduction program.

*1 BMI: Body Mass Index = Body weight (kg) / (height (m))²

Memory function to store up to four users’ personal data

For the measurement of body composition, it is necessary to set personal data such as age, gender, and height. Once you set and store the data, the unit is ready for use by pressing the personal profile number button. This unit can be shared as it can store up to four different users’ data.

Comparison with previous results to monitor progress

The unit stores the measurement results, so you can easily monitor any changes. You can display measurements for 1 day, 7, 30, and 90 days before.
