Dexa Scan vs Inbody Scan vs Skinfold Calipers vs BIA - Am I Really 12.8% Body Fat?

- I measured my actual body fat percentage using 5 different methods - Dexa Scan, Inbody Machine, Skinfold Calipers and several types of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis - and see how the results compare to each other. See what I found out!

This guy is smart and I love his collar pop!
Thank you, I hope you enjoy the videos and learn something new!
Just a tip on your English - the correct way to phrase this is, how fat am I? Am I is typically used when you ask a question about yourself (how tall am I?). I am is typically used when you are making a statement about yourself (I am tall.).
Hope this helps and thanks for the video.
Thank you! As you can see English is not my native language, so any suggestions/ ideas how to improve it are highly appreciated!
Another fine video! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
The MRI is by far the most accurate way to measure body fat but obviously not available to the average person. I think that BIA tends to underestimate your body fat percentage level. I was measured at 9.6% body fat on the InBody and I’m currently bulking so definitely not that lean.
James, agree, MRI is great! I don't believe it will accessible/ affordable for the average person. The good thing is that it looks like Dexa scans become more and more popular, so at some point we might get to MRIs :)
I'm a bit late to the party
I've only done Dexa and the bio impedance from the domestic smart scales (withings body+).
Done the test twice and did the bio impedance test directly after the Dexa without eating, drinking or bathroom. Made sure i was hydrated for all. ,
The difference was 1.1%fat and 1.5% fat between the two tests.
Dexa scan showed higher fat but they seam quite close.
Maybe I am just a typical Caucasian male that fits the modelling used well?
The visceral fat data is interesting from Dexa
Interesting, thank you for sharing! I assume that your fat % is in the normal range?
what was the difference in visceral fat between the two methods? (assuming the Withings informs visceral fat, I might be wrong?)
Inbody does viseral too
My GoWise scale for years had said I crept from 12 to 16%. I just got a Withings Body+ and it said I’m 25-28% 😭 the withings has such a different number and it varies extremely but also more motivational 😛
My Withings results have gone up roughly from 11% to 13.5%. So, the accuracy goes down over time. Basically, buying new Withings scales will help me "lose" 2 percentage points of fat right away :)
Doesn't the Inbody also tell you about the visceral fat?
Great question! I just got 2 recent tests, and they don't provide exact numbers, just some indications. The first test says that my visceral fat level is Level 3, it's low on a one-dimensional graph. The other test shows 2 dimensional graph - the visceral fat area vs age. And my score is 35.3 cm2 and it's on the border of possible values.
@@PracticalHealthNow Many factors need to be considered with a bioelectric impedance scan that many users don’t seem to take into account. The time of day the scan was done and what nutrition was consumed before the scan. For example, fluids, caffeine, alcohol, and carbs can fluctuate the results considerably, and females also need to consider their menstrual cycle due to hormonal fluctuations. Age and gender should be factored into a scan. Results are based on evidence-based data references from the WHO (which explains the difference in your score).
Additionally, no test can give 100% accuracy. The best thing to do is to stay consistent with whatever system you use and base your progress on that consistency. An idea would be to get an MRI and compare those results visually.
@@fidgetspinner1403 Great points, totally agree with you! None of the tests are 100% accurate, so it's more about the dynamics of those measurements.
I did a inbody test today which read 15.7 % which is exactly the same reading as my evolt test however I have lost 7.5 kilo between readings. Only one can be correct as I highly doubt that I lose 7.5 kilo of entire muscle and no fat at all. Now I'm confused which one is correct are both wrong etc ? I wonder if I was genuinely 15.7 before and now I should be reading lower or the other way around that I was higher before but now genuinely 15.7.
The most accurate of measuring fat percentage would be DEXA. If you have an opportunity to do it, it will be very helpful. Meanwhile, what I usually focus on is the dynamics of my readings, no matter of the method. If it's moving in the right direction, I am happy :) So, I suggest you pick your most convenient method and stick to it.
@@PracticalHealthNow it's a fair enough suggestion however they both are the same method just different machines. Had I of known that the two machines were grossly different in readings then I wouldn't have swapped between one and the other.
BIA devices really measure hydration levels. So I did want to point out that your testing conditions ( what you drank & ate that day) would have to be identical before both tests. And each BIA device probably has a unique algorithm for its unique predictions.
@@Fit3d as i had just eaten before the 1st test i asked the bast!#d if that would make a difference and he assured it me it wouldn't (because he wanted my money). Stole my 50 bucks the thief. Thanks for your reply . Next time ill try get a dexta test.
15.7 is a percentage of your total body weight. So if you lose or gain weight and still have the same body fat percentage then the weight gained or lost would be fairly even between muscle and fat, rather than indicating that you only lost muscle. Hope that helps.
Most DexaFit locations also have a Fit3D unit incase you want to get a 3D scan at the same time. Our machine calculates body fat percentage as well & it's non-invasive.
Good to know, thank you!
Fitbit Aria scale 15.1% and Dexa 18.4%.
Your 3.3 ppt difference between the floor scale and Dexa is even higher than mine 1.4 ppt. Interesting!
@@PracticalHealthNow my aria weight is 4 lbs lower than other scales. Not that accurate.
Quiet a difference there. Nevertheless 18.4 is a good percentage to be in. Good work.
@@brandensoutdoorb-channel8084 Wow, that's a significant difference. I found that over time any weight scale becomes less accurate. So, I usually, get a new one after a year or two
@@brandensoutdoorb-channel8084 Wow, it's a lot!
I love your method of explaining! What nationality are you? At first I thought you were a fellow italian given how you talk with your hands! All jokes aside, love your content for the thorough comparison.
Thank you! Originally, I am from Ukraine, currently I live in California :)
He made those numbers up.
Why? For what :)
