This assessment provides statistical probability and mathematical interpretation based on validated clinical equations. It is not a diagnostic tool.
A non-invasive method to estimate total body fat percentage using circumference measurements and height.
The 'Navy' method was developed by Hodgdon and Beckett in 1984 at the Naval Health Research Center. It was designed to provide a low-cost, reliable way for the military to assess body composition without expensive underwater weighing.
Precision is everything for this tool. Use a non-stretch plastic tape and measure to the nearest 0.25 inch. For the neck, measure just below the larynx (Adam's apple) for the most consistent baseline.
