The Tanita Inner scan BC-500 is connected to metabolic syndrome; it can calculate not only the weight but also body fat ratio simultaneously. For first time the new Tanita Inner scan BC-500 retains the data in USB memory stick. When the bundled software is installed to the PC it is possible to do backup analysis with the data collected in the USB drive.Weight and the body fat quantity keep changing generally and getting weight checked daily is not sufficient especially for people with metabolic syndrome. People with the metabolic syndrome are at increased risk of coronary heart disease and other diseases related to plaque buildups in artery walls (e.g., stroke and peripheral vascular disease) and type 2 diabetes.

The metabolic syndrome has become increasingly common and is estimated that over 50 million Americans have it. With the Tanita Inner scan BC-500 4 family members can have their records for one month in the USB in the USB memory stick. When the data is full USB full is flashed on the LCD screen-transfer the data to your PC.
