Abstract: A body shape indicator device (1) comprises a scanner (2) arranged to obtain a three-dimensional model of a person, a body volume calculator (11) for calculating the volume of at least first, second and third parts of the person's body from the three-dimensional model and a body shape calculator (19) for calculating an indication of the person's body shape based on part volume ratios calculated from the output from at least the body volume calculator. A method for determining the body shape of a person and a method of automated clothing selection based on the body shape as determined are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for calculating one or more health indicators, comprising a body volume calculator arranged to use measurement data to calculate the volume of at least a part of a subject's body and a length measurement of at least a part of a subject; and processing circuitry arranged to receive information, which may be demographic information, about the subject and the body part volume and length measurements; and to perform at least one of: calculating a predicted Visceral Fat value and/or a predicted Total Body Fat value from the demographic information, the body part volume and length measurements using first and second formulae, which may be empirical formulae, respectively; and calculating a Body Volume Indicator (BVI) arranged to provide an indication of health risk, in particular obesity and cardio-metabolic risk, which may be by using a third formula, which again may be an empirical formula.

Abstract: A device for determining a person's health that uses a body scanner to obtain a three-dimensional model of a person. The device calculates the volume of at least a first part of the person's body and a second part of a person's body from the three-dimensional model. An indication of the person's health is calculated based on the volume of the first part and volume of the second part of the person's body.
