The Body Cardio from Withings does offer those measurements and I've found them pretty useful as long as you consistently use that same scale for your measurements. Definitely helps with measuring your progress despite seeing the same weight on the scale.

VASCULAR AGE
Cardiovascular check up
Arteries can age more or less depending on your lifestyle. Based on years of research, our exclusive algorithm estimates the age of your arteries to give you a clearer picture of your overall cardiovascular health.
industry premiere
Know the state of your arteries
If your vascular age is assessed to be less than your chronological age, you may be less at risk for developing vascular disease later in life.

What is your vascular age?
We think of chronological age as our "real" age, but rarely do we consider how old we are on the inside.
Vascular age is a health metric that provides a measurement of your arteries’ age compared to others of the same chronological age. Based on pulse wave velocity (PWV), an innovative metric used by the medical community to assess arterial stiffness, vascular age is a key metric to give you a clearer picture of your heart’s health.
Your vascular age is displayed within a range, and color-coded feedback will let you know if it’s optimal, normal, or not optimal.
How is vascular age measured?
Body Cardio measures the time difference between blood ejection by the heart in the aorta and the arrival of blood flow in the feet. The time it takes for the pressure wave to travel along the arterial tree is used by Body Cardio to compute pulse wave velocity.
Our exclusive algorithm developed with cardiology specialists takes your PWV measurements and computes your Vascular Age in comparison to other Withings Body Cardio users.
What are the different results I can get?
Optimal Your vascular age is lower than your chronological age. You are doing better than 90% of Withings users of the same age group. Maintain this trend by maintaining healthy habits.
Normal Your vascular age is aligned with your chronological age. You are in the same range as 80% of Withings users of the same age group. You can try to improve your long-term trend by reinforcing healthy habits.
Not optimal Your vascular age is higher than your chronological age. This reading does not diagnose you with a health condition. Try to lower your Vascular Age in the long term by establishing healthier habits, or talk to your doctor about what you can do to improve.
Why does vascular age matter?
Vascular age is a metric recognized by the scientific community: if your vascular age is assessed as significantly greater than your chronological age, you may be more at risk of developing vascular disease later in life.
There are several things that can help you decrease the aging of your vascular health. A healthy diet, daily exercise, and positive relationships all work together to create smoother vascular aging. However, unhealthy foods, non-stop stress, smoking, and other physical/mental factors can increase the aging rate of your vascular health.
Heart Rate Tracking at every weigh-in
The number behind weight is even more dynamic when you can track muscle mass. Basal metabolism increases with muscle mass, and this helps to reduce your fat mass. Tracking muscle mass is also important to identify muscle atrophy.
Your body needs fat, but excess fat can be a risk factor for diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. Understanding your weight’s relationship to body fat puts you at an advantage in your journey to better health.
Your body temperature, organs, and brain all share one thing in common: water. Check your water levels to make sure you stay hydrated.
Bone mass is a critical health indicator. Keep on top of your density levels to make sure you’re where you need to be.
Bioelectrical impedance technology
Advanced sensors work via an undetectable current that can compute body composition using our exclusive algorithms.
Back
Bioelectrical impedance technology
More than just weight
Withings Body Cardio uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to estimate body composition.
The scale assesses body fat and water percentage, as well as muscle and bone mass, to help people take steps toward a healthier lifestyle.
All of these measurements are taken automatically each time someone steps on the scale.
How it works
In BIA, the scale sends a safe, low-amplitude electrical current through the body, measuring the resistance of biological tissues to the flow of this current. In this way, the scale can assess body composition using scientifically validated equations.
By measuring the voltage drop between the other two electrodes, located at the heels of the left and right feet, the scale can measure impedance, which can then be used to calculate an estimate of fat-free body mass and, by difference with body weight, fat mass.
Weight management
Made to motivate
Numbers are nice, but Body Cardio goes above and beyond by pairing with Withings Health Mate app to display your weight trends and reveal insights.
Accuracy
Technology you can trust
Withings was the first company to bring smart scales to market. However, being first is only part of the success. We’ve spent twelve years enhancing smart scales with user feedback, development, and advanced research so that you can benefit from an easy-to-use and long-lasting device.
Why Wi-Fi matters
Weigh yourself without worrying about having your phone charged or even nearby. Withings Wi-Fi enabled Body Cardio means you don’t need Bluetooth to take measurements, so your weigh-ins are synchronized immediately to the Health Mate app.
Enhanced accuracy
Gravity is different depending where you’re located, and Body Cardio adjusts your weight accordingly for incredibly accurate measurements via Wi-Fi location. Our patented Position Control technology also helps you balance your weight for even distribution using on-screen visual cues.
Automatic user recognition
The more the merrier as Body Cardio can identify and log up to 8 different users’ weigh-ins automatically no matter how small the weight difference.
High precision sensors
Body Cardio provides measurements of up to 0.1 kg in accuracy using performing load cell circuits.
Goes the distance
No batteries to replace and 12 months of use before you need to recharge it make for a stress-free routine.
Modes
Built for real life
Bodies change in real life, so Body Cardio is designed to adapt to your evolving self with dedicated programs and modes.

I have a Withings Body Cardio scale, amongst other things, it can give you stats on body composition, so again, it shows a drop in body fat, which is motivating to see. I realise it's probably going to be an 18-24 month effort to get back to optimal health 5/n

Great device. Does exactly what it says. Easy to have multiple people and links to apps. Highly recommended. Sometimes the pulse wave velocity doesn’t work because it doesn’t detect heart rate.

I looked for an all-in smart weight scale & before Withings I purchased GARMIN Index S2, the quality & user experience was horrible, when I contact GARMIN they told md because the product is new the issues are going to be solved through the time, so I return the GARMIN & start to look for other brand & I come a crossed Withings I did my research & I decided to give it a try, from the unboxing to setup the device I couldn’t be more satisfied, the quality is on the Apple product side, you can compare to unbox an iPad or a MacBook. Overall 10

Body Cardio is a very well-made scale which gives convincing weight measurements and integrates very smoothly with the Health Mate app. It seems to be a significant upgrade on the older Withings scale I had previously; the rechargeable battery and possibly better wi-fi connection as well as the more robust construction address all of the biggest problems I had with my previous device.

I've owned a few connected scales, including a previous Withings scale - but this seemed like a particularly well featured scale. It has certainly lived up to expectations, and in many areas exceeded them.The fact that it is rechargeable is great, and can sit on a carpeted floor. The variety of measurements is certainly nice, and they seem pretty accurate. You can connect via wifi for best results (as well as bluetooth). But it the associated app which really makes a difference.It doesn't only connect to Apple Health, but it also gives you a neat regularly updated piece of advice or information - which generally seem very appropriate. This raises it above just giving you the numbers and really adds value.All in all, I can really recommend this scale. It does all that it claims to do, has a very neat app and is fun to use. What more could you ask for?

Very pleased with my scales. Impressed with the packaging and it looked great when I unpacked it. Very slim and elegant looking. I love the scaling on the weight display. Shows even minute gains and losses as do all of the sections. Easy to respond accordingly. Would thoroughly recommend as a partner for the wonderful Worthing’s steel HR. Don’t hesitate, get yourself one!

I absolutely love this scale. I have tried two other Smart scales, and this model is no comparison. It is accurate weight-wise and provides other relevant information such as body fat percentage. It optionally shows your a weight-timeline every time you weigh yourself, along with heart rate, bone mass, and even the weather outside. The Wi-Fi connection is simple, and the app integrates reasonably well with Samsung Health and Google Fit. Definitely a great way to monitor progress, regardless of what direction you are trying to move in.

Wonderful app and feature rich scale.I was in the gym a lot before Covid, but then everything closed down. I bought the scale to track my progress when the gyms reopen. So far I am amazed with the functionality of the app. Combined with the Body Fat % and Muscle Mass %, this scale will help me get an accurate picture of my progress when the gyms reopen.

I am happy I went with the Withings Body Cardio when purchasing a smart scale.Easy to navigate app, integrates with my Fitbit account so the scale data can be viewed in either app. Very happy with Body Composition & Heart info measurements.Battery life is good, and it's not a bad looking scale either. Only 1 issue so far,it dropped off the wireless once (have it 3+months) but was easy to reconnect. Bought one for a sibling already...would deff recommend.
