Is there any data on how accurate the Body Scan is?

I'm wondering how accurate the Body Scan is for fat and muscle composition. Is there any research out there comparing it to DEXA scans? I understand it won't be 100% accurate, but I would like to see that accuracy is within, say 5% or so. As it stands I have no idea if it's completely off or what.

    Hi @Max P,

     

    Thanks for your post. I appreciate the details you shared. Please keep in mind the following information: When it comes to measuring body fat, impedance-based methods like the Body Scan are generally accurate, but they may not be as precise as measurements taken with medical equipment such as a DEXA Scan or Hydrostatic Weighing. Therefore, there may be some differences between the measurements obtained from these methods. Nevertheless, these measurements are valuable for tracking changes over time.

     

    At the moment, we do not have more details regarding the comparison of measurements taken from both scales. We anticipate that this information will become available in the near future, but we cannot provide an exact timeline at this point.

     


    Have a good day,

     


    Jo, Withings Customer Service
