II. INTRODUCTION TO THE MA801
BODY COMPOSITION ANALYZER
Body composition analysis describes what the body is made of, differentiating between body
water, protein minerals, and fat to provide more precise information beyond weight and BMI.
Body composition components are strongly related to different outcomes and regular
measurement is becoming increasingly valuable in practice.
There are many possible ways to estimate body composition. Some methods quick and
inexpensive, but can only provide basic information. Others are lengthy and expensive,
requiring usage of trained personnel and highly technical equipment. Bioelectrical Impedance
Analysis (BIA) has become a widely accepted assessment method, as it is fast, simple,
non-invasive, and easily repeatable.
The MA801 Professional Body Composition Analyzer provides many relevant measurement
values and data that can be used by professionals track progress, and providing important
indicators. Boasting multiple measurement frequencies and sophisticated algorithms, Charder
stands by our devices with clinical trials and over ten years of original peer-reviewed scientific
research, for results you can trust.
