Frequently asked questions
Is this more useful than BMI?
It answers a different question. BMI compares weight to height, while this estimate tries to approximate body-fat percentage from measurements.
Why does the female formula need hip measurement?
Because the standard Navy method uses a different circumference relationship for the female estimate.
Should the result be treated as exact?
No. It is best treated as a practical estimate and trend-tracking tool rather than a precise diagnostic measurement.
