The body fat percentage is the ratio between a person's total body fat and total mass (commonly known as weight).
This calculator uses the 7-site Jackson-Pollock skinfold method to help determine the body fat percentage.
Please measure your triceps, thigh, suprailiac, pectoral, midaxillary, subscapular and abdominal using a body fat caliper regardless of your gender.
The 7-site Jackson-Pollock formula for body density is used in combination with the Siri equation to determine the body fat percentage, which can be defined as:
\(BFP\): Body fat percentage
\(triceps\): the skin fold measurements of the triceps
\(thigh\): the skinfold measurement of the thigh
\(suprailiac\): the skinfold measurement of the suprailiac
\(abdominal\): the skinfold measurement of the abdominal
\(pectoral\): the skinfold measurement of the pectoral
\(midaxillary\): the skinfold measurement of the midaxillary
\(subscapular\): the skinfold measurement of the subscapular
\(age\): your age measured in years
The SI unit for BFP is: \(%\)
