Body Shape

Of course, there's no way for this tool to know if you're actually fit or not. However, based on your measurements, we can see how often others with your body shape tend to engage in physical activity.

This model was built using the NHANES survey of American adults. The NHANES defines "vigorous activity" as household chores, yard work, fitness, sports, or other activities which significantly elevate the heart rate for at least ten minutes.

Endocrine analysis uses a deep machine learning model to try and guess if your weight distribution is more gynoid (female) or android (male). It's about 99.5% accurate.

This isn't a score of how feminine or masculine your body is, but moreso how your weight is distributed across your body. Adjust your weight and see how your result changes!

The body shape model is an estimate of how feminine or masculine your body is. It's pretty good, but it's not as good as the endocrine model, due to the large overlap between sexes. Check out the ratio explorer below to see for yourself!

If the endocrine model and body shape model disagree, then the endocrine model is probably right!

Ratio Explorer

Like most things in life, your measurements don't really mean a lot without context. For example, are you overweight, or just tall?

In the graph below, the colored lines are a trendline and the surrounding zone is one standard deviation; 65% of all bodies will fall between the colored zone.
