Inputs explained

  • BMI [required]
  • Age (years) [required]
  • Gender [required]: Gender affects body fat calculation

Formula / method

Body Fat % = (1.20 × BMI) + (0.23 × Age) - Gender Factor — Simplified estimation based on BMI, age, and gender (approximation)

Interpreting results

Tape-based estimates can differ from DEXA or BodPod. Track trends with consistent measurement technique rather than single readings.

Assumptions

  • Tape placements match the protocol implied by the selected equation.
  • Inputs are in the units required by the form.

Limitations

  • Not a clinical body-composition diagnosis.
  • Hydration and measurement error can move results by several percentage points.
