Frequently asked questions

How is this different from body fat percentage?

Lean body mass estimates the amount of non-fat mass, while body-fat percentage focuses on the fat share of total body weight.

Is this as accurate as a scan or lab test?

No. It is a simpler formula-based estimate and should not be treated as equivalent to DEXA or other clinical methods.
