A study from the University of Florida suggests that BMI is an unreliable predictor of early death and health risks, whereas bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), which directly measures body fat, provides a more accurate assessment of mortality risk, potentially leading to changes in medical practice.
A new study suggests that bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), which measures body fat and muscle mass, is a more accurate predictor of health risks and mortality than BMI, especially in younger adults, and could lead to better early interventions for health issues related to body composition.
A recent study suggests that body fat percentage (BF%) measured via bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a more accurate predictor of 15-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality than BMI, especially in younger adults, and advocates for wider adoption of BF% measurement in clinical practice.
Withings has launched its latest entry-level smart scale, the Body Smart, which comes with an Eyes Closed mode that displays encouraging messages instead of weight. The scale supports up to eight users and offers accurate weight measurements up to 50 grams. It can also track metrics such as heart rate, visceral fat, and metabolic age using multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis technology. Withings claims that the Body Smart will be able to measure basal metabolic rate and determine metabolic age starting in May. The mid-tier Body Comp scale has been upgraded with a color LCD screen, while the high-end Body Scan option will be available in the US in the coming months.
Withings has launched a new Body Smart scale that offers a comprehensive selection of health metrics, including weight, accurate to within 50 grams, which can even be recorded without telling you. A new feature called ‘Eyes Closed Mode’ will hide the user’s weight from the scale’s screen, and instead display encouraging messages of motivation, or other information like the day’s air quality or weather forecast. The Body Smart uses multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis, which measures the resistance and reactance of tissue to a small imperceptible electrical signal sent through the body, from one foot to the other.
