One way to determine how healthy a person is by measuring thebody fat of the person.
The formulas to determine the body fat for female and male are asfollows:
Body fat formula for women:
- A1 = Body Weight * 0.732 + 8.987
- A2 = Wrist Measurement At Fullest Point / 3.140
- A3 = Waist Measurement At Navel * 0.157
- A4 = Hip Measurement At Fullest Point * 0.249
- A5 = Forearm Measurement At Fullest Point * 0.434
- B = A1 + A2 - A3 - A4 + A5
- Body Fat = Body Weight - B
- Body Fat Percentage = Body Fat * 100 / Body Weight
Body fat formula for men:
- A1 = Body Weight * 1.082 + 94.42
- A2 = Waist Measurement At Fullest Point * 4.15
- B = A1 - A2
- Body Fat = body Weight - B;
