An MRI. Everything else is dependant on human expertise and so t be as accurate. BMI doesn’t provide fat composition or regional body fat composition and thus useless. Hydrostatic weighing provides full body fat measures as a whole. Caliper results are dependant on the experience of the administrator. MRI is the gold standard
