There are several methods to measure body fat percentage, each with varying degrees of accuracy and practicality:
Skinfold calipers: This method estimates body fat by pinching the skin in specific areas and measuring the thickness of the fat layer. Bioelectrical impedance: This technique uses electrical currents to estimate body composition based on the resistance encountered by the electrical flow. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA): DEXA scans provide detailed images of body composition, including bone, fat, and muscle mass. Hydrostatic weighing: This method measures body density by comparing an individual's weight on land to their weight underwater.
