Shape & Health ScoresUpdated 8 months ago

These scores have been designed by our team with the end user in mind - helping you crunch all those numbers up and assess whether you’re on the right track for your body transformation journey.

Health Score

The Health Score is a unique metric provided by ShapeScale that offers insights into an individual's overall health and fitness status. It is backed by data from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), using their Body Shape Index (ABSI) to evaluate health risks based on an individual’s body shape and composition. The Health Score is expressed on a scale from 0 to 100, and the higher the score, the less prone you are to cardiometabolic risks.

The Health Score is designed to be an easy-to-understand metric that encapsulates complex health data into a single, actionable number. It's important to note that while the Health Score is a useful tool, it should be used in conjunction with other health metrics and professional medical advice for a comprehensive understanding of your health status.

DISCLAIMER: The Health Score does not replace any professional advice, and can present some limitations for users who are underrepresented in our data sample. For health recommendations, please consult a doctor or practitioner.

Shape Score

The Shape Score allows users to track their body transformation progress. It is calculated by analyzing various body measurements to assess factors such as leanness, athleticism, and symmetry, and is designed to reflect changes in both muscle and fat. It can improve even if your weight remains the same or increases slightly, as long as your body composition is changing favorably.

The Shape Score can be used to set goals, track progress, and has proven to be very motivational for users during their journey.

DISCLAIMER: At Shape, we recognize that ideal body types come in various shapes and sizes. This is a standardized metric that does present some limitations, and we acknowledge that it may not align with your personal definition of an ideal body.
