Calculadora de porcentaje de grasa corporal

Which body fat calculation method should I use?

This calculator offers four different methods, each with its own tradeoffs. The U.S. Navy method uses neck, waist, and height measurements with a tape measure. It was developed by Hodgdon and Beckett at the Naval Health Research Center and is accurate to within 3-4% for most people. The Covert Bailey method uses waist, hip, forearm, and wrist circumferences, also requiring only a tape measure. The 3-site skinfold method (Jackson-Pollock) requires calipers and measures chest, abdomen, and thigh for men or triceps, suprailiac, and thigh for women. It tends to be more accurate when performed correctly. Finally, manual entry lets you input a known body fat percentage from a DEXA scan, bioelectrical impedance scale, or other clinical measurement.
