The person described above who would get a 20% value could be confident that the actual bodyfat was likely heart disease to be between 19% and 21%, which represents very useful information. The gold standard method has always been by far the most accurate method for heart disease determining bodyfat content, but it has a number of disadvantages. For a health club to buy the equipment, often more than $10,000 is involved. In addition, extremely trustworthy staff members must operate the equipment, and they require substantial training to correctly and safely operate it, and also to then determine the actual heart disease results, although some systems now use computers to do that. A health club must also consider the potential liability issues, as some people panic when completely helpless underwater strapped to that chair, and CPR and other medical attention has known to have been necessary. In this, it has worked out to be an advantage that generally only very fit, athletic people tend to have such serious interest in bodyfat content to pay $30 to $40 to have it measured.
