How accurate are body composition analyzers?

No impedance device measures body fat exactly. Here is what affects results and how to use them well.

They estimate

Impedance devices estimate composition from how a small current passes through the body. Different devices and formulas can give different numbers for the same person.

What changes a reading

  • Hydration, recent meals and drinks.
  • Training, sauna, heat or cold before the scan.
  • Skin and electrode contact.
  • Time of day and posture.

How to get consistent results

  • Use the same device each time.
  • Scan at a similar time of day and condition.
  • Compare trends, not single readings.
