Plain-language reference
Estimate adult body-fat percentage from body measurements using the U.S. Navy method.
The estimate uses the U.S. Navy circumference method with height, neck, waist, and, for the applicable equation, hip measurement.
These adult equations do not diagnose health, account for every body type or circumstance, or replace individualized clinical assessment. This limitation is especially important when using the body-fat percentage calculator for a consequential or shared decision.
