Example of Gympanzie Body Fat Calculator
Consider a 30-year-old female with the following measurements: Waist: 28 inches, Hip: 38 inches, Neck: 12 inches, and Height: 65 inches. By applying these measurements to the formula, her body fat percentage would be calculated as follows:
Body Fat % = 163.205 × log10 (28+38−12) − 97.684 × log10(65) − 78.387 = 24%
This places her in the “Average” category for body fat, providing a clear indication of her health status.
