getting the body composition measured is getting your body fat measured and is not the same as the BMI. the BMI doesn't take the body composition into account.

nicely the BMI attempt is largely a mathematical equation bearing on your top and weight that should assist you identify in case you're interior conventional variety, i think 20-25 is seen conventional and you ought to not get diverse BMI effects as they are all a similar calculation. The BMI may be deceptive although, case in point contained related to athletes who weigh plenty with the aid of their muscle yet are particularly in shape.

A body composition test is not a BMI test. BMI is just a comparison of your height and weight. Your body composition is to find out how much body fat you have and how much lean mass. It depends on the type of test you are having, i.e. hydrostatic weighing, callipers, bod-pod, etc, as to what will happen. Try googling any of the above for more information.

you would probably need to be dress in least clothing while taking a BMI test cause your height and weight needs t be measured as BMI is calculated using your weight in kilogram divided by your height in metre squared (kg/m*m)...
