Measuring body fat percentage
The U.S. Navy method uses equations developed at the Naval Health Research Center (Hodgdon & Beckett, 1984). Measure waist at the navel for men and at the narrowest width for women; neck below the larynx; and for women, hips at the largest horizontal circumference.
Men (metric):
BFP = 495 ÷ (1.0324 − 0.19077×log₁₀(waist−neck) + 0.15456×log₁₀(height)) − 450
Women (metric):
BFP = 495 ÷ (1.29579 − 0.35004×log₁₀(waist+hip−neck) + 0.22100×log₁₀(height)) − 450
Fat mass = body-fat fraction × weight. Lean mass = weight − fat mass. The BMI method uses age and BMI (adults: men 1.20×BMI + 0.23×Age − 16.2; women 1.20×BMI + 0.23×Age − 5.4). Results are estimates only.
