Body Fat Calculator Added

Hesaplayıcı has a new body fat calculator. It estimates body fat percentage from sex, weight, height, neck and waist, and for women also the hip, with the tape measure method of the U.S. Navy. The result shows the fat mass, the lean body mass, the class in the ACE table and the calculation steps. It is not medical advice.

What changed

• New tool: the body fat calculator. It is the fifth tool in the health category.
• Method: the U.S. Navy circumference equations that Hodgdon and Beckett published in 1984, and the Siri equation.
• Classes: the American Council on Exercise (ACE) table: essential fat, athletes, fitness, average and obese.
• New guide: how body fat percentage is calculated, a step-by-step example and the effect of the waist measurement.
• As with every tool, it also runs through the REST API and MCP.

Effect on calculations

Example: for a man of 80 kg and 178 cm with a 90 cm waist and a 38 cm neck, the calculator gives 20.1% body fat, 16.1 kg of fat mass and 63.9 kg of lean mass. This is in the average class of the ACE table.
