ShapeScale

If you need us to look into one of your scans, please make sure to <a href="https://shapescalehelpcenter.gorgias.help/en-US/how-to-report-a-scan-issue-693753" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">report the scan</a> before reaching out to our team at <a href="mailto:help@shapescale.com">help@shapescale.com</a>.Our body fat percentage is trained on DEXA scans, the gold standard of body composition analysis. Typically, DEXA estimations are 3-5 percentage points higher than bioelectrical impedance analysis which is the most accessible technology (such as InBody). Therefore, it is normal that ShapeScale&#x2019;s body fat estimation is also higher than what you are used to. Our data validation study has also shown that ShapeScale is 23% more accurate than BIA.That being said, if your body fat estimation is very far off (-/+10%), feel free to report the scan and we can look into it for you.NOTE: In a lot of cases, incorrect body fat estimations happen because the scanning guidelines haven&#x2019;t been followed properly. More specifically regarding skin tight clothing and tying your hair in a bun.
