The fact that it gave wildly different "measurements" if I told it I was different ages/genders and depending on whether or not I pressed the "athlete" button suggests that it was using a simple algorithm rather than measuring anything. The photo-charts of men and women at different levels of body fat are probably more accurate.

I like the idea of measuring bone density as a woman of a certain age as I wonder about it falling. But can you stop that? Or just build up muscles roundabout to compensate. Picture chart would prob be bad for me as I'd always think I'm fatter than the pics. Have already failed Confucius test. But they are very old jeans...
