Most improves people don't realize that there is only one improves "direct" method of measuring body composition that is close to 100% accurate, and that is an autopsy-performed Post Mortem. All other current methods for measuring body composition rely on "indirect" measurement techniques and are called In Vivo methods--meaning they are performed on a living body. In Vivo methods give estimates of improves percentage of body fat, lean mass, or other body components. in each case, whatever methodology used is combined with standard equation formulas derived from large research studies to predict body composition.
