How is body composition captured by Bodd?

1 min. readlast update: 07.22.2026

Body fat %, fat mass, and lean mass are then estimated from the body's shape (the circumferences the scan measures) together with the customer's sex, height, and weight. It's a geometric estimation model: it works from body shape and size, not from a lab method like DEXA.

Clothing & privacy

Loose or bulky clothing adds bulk the scanner reads as body, which inflates the measurements and throws off the body-composition estimate. For an accurate scan the customer needs to be in minimal, close-fitting clothing.
