Which is more accurate Bod Pod or DEXA?
There are a number of different methods measure this information, with two methods being more widely accepted.

Which is better bod pod or DEXA scan?
What does bod pod stand for?
The BOD POD is a computerized, egg-shaped chamber. Using the same whole-body measurement principle as underwater weighing, the BOD POD measures a subject’s mass and volume, from which their whole-body density is determined. Using these data, body fat and lean muscle mass can then be calculated.
What is skinfold thickness?
Skinfold thickness (SFT) measurement is a reliable, cheap, simple, noninvasive method of body fat estimation at all ages including the newborn period [1]. It measures the thickness of subcutaneous fat at various sites of the body from which total body fat and hence contribution of fat to body mass can be estimated [1].
Can you eat before Bod Pod?

DEXA scan results give a detailed snapshot of your body composition, including measurements on body fat percentage. Unlike the BOD POD, the DEXA scan can also show segmental body fat distribution in regions such as arms, legs, android (waist), and gynoid (hips) so that you can identify imbalances in the body.
