fhg43 New member Oct 22, 2001 #3 Terrible accuracy. Use skin fold calipers. At least you will have more consistency. Electrical impedence is recognized as one of the less accurate ways to measure body fat. 1) Autopsy 2) DEXA Body Comp Scanner 3) Underwater weighing 4) Skin fold calipers 5) Guessing 6) Eletrical impedence FHG
