The basic way of calculating Basal Metabolic Rate [BMR] is a standard equation using weight and age. Tanita has conducted in-depth research into the relationship of BMR and body composition giving a much more accurate and personalized reading for the user based on the impedance measurement. This method has been medically validated using indirect calorimetry [measuring the breath composition].* *Reliability on equation for Basal Metabolic Rate: At 2002 Nutrition Week: A Scientific and Clinical Forum and Exposition Title: International Comparison: Resting Energy Expenditure Prediction Models: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
