Working with the scientific community

For more than 25 years, Tanita has worked closely with the scientific obesity research community.  Using BIA technology to incorporate body fat measurements into obesity, weight management and lifestyle projects has enabled researchers to assess outcomes with increased accuracy and measurement data. Working side-by-side with researchers has also enabled Tanita to develop new products with features that facilitate the best possible data capture methods.

If you are planning a research project investigating obesity-related diseases, physical activity programmes or weight management programmes, the team at Tanita may be able to provide assistance. 

If you would like to know more, please send a brief outline of your research protocol, including objectives, subjects and methods, to info@tanita.eu.  We will then contact you with more information.
