Answer: Body composition.

Explanation: Measuring weight is inaccurate because muscle mass weighs more than fat, meaning that if someone who is ripped and has dense muscle mass, they will be categorised as overweight, because of that. Body composition however, takes into account fat to body ration, and will be much more accurate.
