Isn’t BMI enough to diagnose obesity?
Body Mass Index is one of the well known methods to diagnose obesity. It is used to evaluate weight in relation to height. According to BMI, athletes or muscular individuals would always be considered obese due to their heavy muscle. Those categorized as sarcopenic obesity (lack of muscle) would not be identified. Therefore, for the true diagnosis of obesity, you need to check percent body fat with InBody.
How accurate is the InBody compared to DEXA and underwater weighing?
The InBody is considered to be approx. 98% accurate when compared against DEXA and Underwater Weighing.
