- aliqot 4y agoThose scales are fairly inaccurate. What is best is a float test and caliper test.
- nradov 4y agoActually a DXA scan is now considered to be more accurate than a float test or caliper test.
- malfist 4y agoScales use bioelectrical impedance to measure body fat percentage. They have an accuracy of +/- 5 points of the actual reading. Meaning the value is 1-5 points higher or lower than the real value, so a reading of 6% on the scale could mean a real value of 1%-11% (not 5.7%-6.3%).
