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 9-site Parrillo skinfold method to help determine the body fat percentage.
Please measure your triceps, thigh, suprailiac, pectoral, midaxillary, subscapular, lower back, calf and abdominal using a body fat caliper regardless of your gender.
The 9-site Parrillo Skinfold formula for body fat percentage is defined as:
\(BFP\): Body fat percentage
\(biceps\): the skinfold measurement of the biceps
\(triceps\): 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
\(subscapular\): the skinfold measurement of the subscapular
\(lower back\): the skinfold measurement of the lower back
\(calf\): the skinfold measurement of the calf
\(age\): your age measured in years
\(weight\): your body weight measured in kilogram
The SI unit for BFP is: \(%\)
