Why my metabolic ages measured by Tanita Body Composition Monitors models BC-541 and BC-532 were quite different?

This post was updated on 2009-11-04.

(1) On 2008-09-06 (Saturday) I visited World Food Fair 2008, a Tanita Body Composition Monitor which looked similar to BC-541 showed my metabolic age (the health supplements salesperson called it biological age then) as 33.

(2) On 2009-07-11 (Saturday), a Tanita Body Composition Monitor which looked similar to BC-541at "Health & U" Mega Health Exhibition showed my metabolic age (the health supplements salesperson called it biological age then) as 35.

(3) On 2009-09-02 the BC-541 of a health consultant showed my metabolic age as 34 years.

(4) On 2009-09-18 the sales demo BC-532 showed my metabolic age as 27 years.

(5) On 2009-09-25 my own BC-532 showed my metabolic ages in five different measurements within an hour as 27, 26, 26, 25 and 27 years.

(6) On 2009-09-26 at 1750 hour at a retail shop (Tang): (a) BC-532 showed my metabolic age as 23 and BMR = 1307 kcal, (b) BC-541 showed my metabolic age as 34 and BMR = 1308 Kcal.


Can anybody tell me why my metabolic ages measured by Tanita Body Composition Monitors models BC-541 and BC-532 were quite different?


I should measure my metabolic age again with Tanita model BC-541.
