Can I compare myself with other body composition analysis or with my own body-fat scale?

The seca mBCA and seca TRU have undergone a unique clinical validation, compared to gold standard procedures, and this validation has not been carried out to this standard by any other manufacturer. The sensitive measurement technique with hand-held electrodes and vapor-deposited foot electrodes is also unique. The formulas that calculate the parameters from the measured body resistances are also customized to the hardware. For this reason, only seca body composition analysis can be compared with one another.

Several consumer tests of commercially available body-fat scales have also shown that their measurements are inaccurate and unreliable. Most of these devices only measure the legs (no hand electrodes), they are not validated, or the calculation formulas are based on statistical values that are derived only from body weight. If you want real and reliable measurement results for muscle and fat mass then a body composition analysis with the seca TRU or the seca mBCA is a must!
