Key findings of this study included:

Self-testing of percentage body fat with the Accu•Measure was as accurate as results from multi-site measurements and calculations taken by an experienced clinical investigator using a Lange caliper.

Percentage body fat calculations with the Accu•Measure were within 1.1 percentage points of underwater weighing results - the "gold standard" of body fat measurement.

Accu•Measure was recommended over another self-assessment device, the Futrex-1000, which significantly overestimated percentage body fat.
