BF% is hard to measure. Different manufacturers use different models to map resistivity data to BF%, so for the same person one can get rather different answers

- dogma1138 6y agoResistance based measurements are pretty poor especially with only 2-4 points of contact, the accurate ones are displacement based like bodypod and X-ray based. I’m actually surprised that this isn’t something that people have thrown ML at yet, it seems like a problem that an IR camera with 360 degree body imaging and a good model might actually be able to solve.
- jasonpeacock 6y agoAgreed, resistance measurements are not great. At the minimum, you need a friend to use calipers on you, and take those measurements over time to see trending and averages. Even better is a dunk tank or Dexascan to get actual numbers from direct readings, most cities/universities have such facilities but not as accessible to everyone. In a perfect world it would be part of your annual physical, but they still use BMI charts :(
