Model RD-445
SKU RD445DG0000EUA
EAN 4904785178717

Product description

An ordinary scale gives you a number. The RD-445 does more. Electrodes in the platform and in the handgrips let it measure your right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg and trunk separately. So you learn not only that you are two kilos lighter, but whether that was fat or muscle, and where. Everything appears on the display. No app, no account, nothing to pair.

21 readings from one measurement

Step on, take hold of the grips, and a few seconds later you know:

  • Weight, accurate to 50 grams
  • Muscle Quality Score, found only on TANITA
  • Muscle mass, total and per body segment
  • Body fat percentage, total and per body segment
  • Visceral fat
  • Body water percentage
  • Bone mass
  • BMI
  • BMR, the energy you burn at rest
  • Metabolic age
  • Physique Rating

Muscle quality: not how much, but how good

Two muscles of the same size can differ a great deal. One holds dense, strong muscle fibre. The other has more non-muscle tissue sitting between the fibres. You will not spot that difference in the mirror or on a bathroom scale, but the Muscle Quality Score shows it. Research links lower muscle quality to reduced strength and a less favourable metabolic picture. If you train seriously, or you are getting older, that number often tells you more than kilos of muscle mass.

Everything on the display

No Bluetooth that refuses to connect, no account to set up first. All 21 readings appear on the large display, with colour to show where you stand. Want to look back? The Recall function scrolls through your earlier measurements, up to twelve months.

Accuracy

TANITA was the first company to bring bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to market, and the technique is used worldwide by dietitians, physiotherapists and sports coaches. The RD-445 measures at two frequencies, 50 kHz and 5 kHz, combined with TANITA 4C™. Against the reference method that works out to:

  • 97% for body fat
  • 98% for muscle mass
  • 98% for fat-free mass
  • 98% for body water

The scale reads up to 200 kg, in 50 gram steps below 100 kg. Many other scales stop at 100 grams.

For the whole family, and for athletes

Anyone from 5 to 99 can use the RD-445. For children aged 5 to 17 it shows weight, BMI, body fat, bone mass and muscle mass. There is room for five profiles and the scale works out for itself who is standing on it. Guest mode handles visitors without overwriting anyone's history. Training twelve hours a week or more? Switch on Athlete Mode, which adjusts the calculation for an athletic body.

Who it is for

  • Athletes tracking muscle growth and recovery segment by segment
  • Anyone losing weight who wants to know more than the number of kilos
  • Families after one good scale for everybody
  • Anyone who does not want an app or a subscription
