Understanding Body Fat Percentage
Body fat percentage is a crucial metric that helps assess your overall health. It indicates the proportion of fat in your body compared to other components like muscle, bone, and water.
Maintaining a healthy body fat percentage is essential for optimal physical performance, metabolic health, and overall well-being. Too much body fat can lead to health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.
This calculator uses the following formula to estimate body fat percentage:
Body Fat % = (1.20 × BMI) + (0.23 × Age) - (5.4) - (10.8 × Gender)
Where:
- BMI (Body Mass Index) is calculated as weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared.
- Age is your age in years.
- Gender is represented as 1 for male and 0 for female.
Use this calculator to monitor your body fat percentage and make informed decisions about your health and fitness goals.
