'Bod pod' could accurately measure obesity
Scientists at a US university have designed a new machine that measures body mass and body fat and which could help in the fight against obesity.
The 'Bod Pod' is a space age-style capsule at Massey University's Human Nutrition Research Centre in which the subject sits and has their body assessed by air displacement technology.
Welma Stonehouse, associate professor at the university, said the machine will be a useful analytical tool.
"Because fat weighs less than muscle, it can be difficult to gain a precise estimate of how much fat an individual is made of and this can lead to false interpretations of what it means to be overweight," she commented.
The Body Mass Index (BMI) method of calculating whether a person is overweight has been criticised by dieticians because body frames vary - for example, the BMIs of rugby players are often high, which technically means that they are obese, even though this is not the case.
