The fitindex bluetooth body fat scale features a total body composition analysis in addition to a Body Fat Index analysis. The BIA calculates the percentage of body fat in relation to lean tissue mass. It also determines that percent of lean body mass from bone mineral content, which is a more reliable indicator of health than the BMI metric (Body Mass Index).

 

The fitindex body fat scale also provides a Body Build Index (BBCI) to address the relationship between body build and fat percentage. The BBCI is an estimation of your percent body fat using various factors. 


Importantly, it includes bone mineral content. A person who is heavy on bone will have a higher BBCI than someone with more muscle mass. That tells the health practitioner that someone's weight could actually be healthy for their muscles, but his or her fat mass is actually abnormal for that person's build.
