Body composition plays an important role in health and nutrition statuses; however, the fact that technology is integrated in every aspect of life has demanded advances in body composition; one of which is through body score. This study attempts to analyse body composition through Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) through relatively new indicators namely body score. As the data collection was conducted amidst the COVID-19, the participants (15 males and 19 females) were verbally consented proving that they all agreed to be a part of this study. Their body height was measured through a wall-hung measure while their body weight was measured using a BIA-based scale, namely Xiaomi Mi Body Scale Composition 2. The results showed that gender has an impact of body score in which males tend to have body weight as the most dominant factors while females prove that there are other important factors such as protein and visceral fat contained in their body. It is implied that the body score system offered by the scale offers a relatively high accuracy of body composition. © School of Engineering, Taylor's University.
