a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio
(cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and
FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the
measured field strength in the location in which the ACCUNIQ BC360 is used
exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the ACCUNIQ BC360
should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or
relocating the ACCUNIQ BC360.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less
than 3 V/m.

4) Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and the ACCUNIQ BC360
The ACCUNIQ BC360 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the ACCUNIQ BC360 can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the ACCUNIQ BC360 as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

ABOUT
BODY
C
OMPOSI
TION
1. Body Composition
Human body consists of body fat and lean body. Lean body means non-fat constituents of human
body like body water, muscles, mineral, etc.
Body water is divided into intra- and extra-cellular water and the ratio between them is controlled
and maintained within a certain range. Body fat is piled beneath the skin and between abdominal
organs. Body fat is hydrolyzed to make energy needed to normal physiological function when
energy supply through food intake is not sufficient, but excessive fat in the body itself is a kind of
disease and causes lifestyle diseases.
Healthy people maintain the balance of body composition in a steady proportion but unhealthy
people persons fail to keep this balance. When the balance in body composition is broken,
diseases like obesity, malnutrition, osteoporosis, etc. can be caused.
2. Obesity
Various methods can be used to assess obesity but the key factor in obesity assessment is the
amount of fat accumulated in the body.
In general, obesity is defined as the state of not only excessive weight compared with height
(visible obese) but also excessive body fat compared with weight (invisible or visible obese).
Strictly speaking obesity is the state that body fat occupies considerably high ratio to weight.
3. Necessity of Body Composition Analysis
Body Composition Analysis is a good indicator in finding possible health problems. Body
composition analysis enables professionals to find obesity or imbalance in body composition at
an early stage and helps subjects keep their body healthy.
4. Waist to hip ratio
Waist to hip ratio (W.H.R.) shows the distribution of fat stored in one’s abdomen and hip. It is
simple but useful to assess body fat distribution. Body fat is stored in two distinct ways. They are
often categorized into and called 'apple' and 'pear' type. Apple type shows bigger girth of waist
than hip and pear type has bigger girth of hip than waist. If body fat in abdomen increases more,
the risk to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, etc. becomes higher.

19
5. Abdominal Fatness
Body fat is divided into subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Visceral obesity is considered to be a
critical risk factor along with Percentage of body fat.
Lipoprotein lipase can be easily activated in visceral fat, and it causes visceral fat to be dissolved
easily. Dissolved visceral fat goes into liver through the blood vessel and causes fatty liver or
increases lipid in the blood. It also elevates the risk of hyperinsulinemia, hypertension, and
cardiovascular disease.
Visceral fat generally occupies 10 ~ 20 % of body fat and visceral obesity is assessed based on
the indicators below.
- the cross sectional fat area between L4 ~ L5 is 100 cm2 and over
- the visceral fat to subcutaneous fat ratio is 0.4 and over
- the waist to hip ratio (W.H.R.) is over 0.9 (male) / 0.85 (female)
- the circumference of waist is over 102 cm/45 inches (male) _ 88 cm / 35 inches (female)
Visceral fat increases after 30s in men and after Menopause in women. It is more common in
men than women and the old than the young. Visceral fat tends to increase with aging. Because
the combustion rate per minute of visceral fat is higher than that of subcutaneous fat, visceral fat
can be easily reduced by exercise or dietary control in case of abdominal obesity. W.H.R. is the
ratio of waist to hip circumference and has relation to one’s figure.
6. Segmental Analysis
This device analyzes soft lean mass and mass of body fat of five body parts; trunk, right arm, left
arm, right leg, and left leg. This function can be used as an assessment tool to evaluate the result
of exercise or rehabilitation treatment.
7. Age Matched of Body
It is the estimated physical age of the subject considering body composition analysis result,
gender, and biological age. This is calculated by comparing the optimal body composition based
on the gender and biological age of the subject with the actual analyzed body composition. It can
be used to evaluate the subject’s health and body development.
