While assessing true body composition is superior, gold-standard methods like Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) are not scalable. We address this gap by developing and validating "PhotoScan," a method to estimate body composition from smartphone imagery. We pretrained a deep learning model on UK Biobank participants (N=35,323) and fine-tuned on a newly recruited clinical cohort (PhotoBIA cohort, N=677) with diverse ethnicity, age, and body fat distribution, achieving high accuracy against DXA for total body fat percentage (BF%, MAE = 2.15%), Android-to-Gynoid fat ratio (A/G, MAE = 0.11), and visceral-to-subcutaneous fat area ratio (V/S, MAE = 0.09). Generalizability of the model was demonstrated on an independent metabolic health study cohort (MetabolicMosaic cohort, N=132 participants), achieving MAEs of 2.13% for BF%, 0.09 for A/G, and 0.09 for V/S. We then evaluated the clinical utility of these metrics in the MetabolicMosaic cohort by predicting insulin resistance (IR). Adding PhotoScan-derived body composition metrics to baseline demographics model (Age, Sex, BMI) significantly improved insulin resistance classification (Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve "AUROC" 76.0% vs 69.2%, DeLong test p=0.002, Net Reclassification Index "NRI" 0.593). Crucially, this accessible smartphone method achieved performance nearly equivalent to adding clinical-grade DXA data to baseline demographics model (AUROC 77.3% vs 69.2%, DeLong test p=0.004, NRI 0.748). These findings demonstrate that smartphone-based phenotyping captures clinically meaningful risk signals missed by BMI and anthropometrics, offering a scalable alternative to DXA for cardiometabolic risk stratification.
