Key Considerations for Body Fat Calculation
Ensure accurate results with these insights:
The U.S. Navy Method is an estimate. Results may vary due to measurement technique or body type. For precise results, consider DEXA scans or professional assessment.
Measure waist at navel (men) or smallest point (women), neck below Adam’s apple, and hips (women) at widest point. Use a flexible tape and measure in cm.
High (>30%) or very low (less than 10% men, less than 15% women) body fat may pose health risks. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
