VISCERAL FAT RATING

This feature indicates the rating of visceral fat in your body.
Visceral fat is the fat that is in the internal abdominal cavity, surrounding the vital organs in the trunk (abdominal) area. Research
shows that even if your weight and body fat remains constant, as you get older the distribution of fat changes and is more likely to
shift to the trunk area especially post menopause. Ensuring you, have healthy levels of visceral fat may reduce the risk of certain
diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and the onset of type 2 diabetes.
The Tanita Body Composition Monitor will provide you with a visceral fat rating from 1 – 59.
Rating from 1 – 12
Indicates you have a healthy level of visceral fat. Continue monitoring your rating to ensure that it stays within the healthy range.
Rating from 13 – 59
Indicates you have an excess level of visceral fat. Consider making changes in your lifestyle possibly through diet changes or
increasing exercise.
