There has recently been a gradual rise in the global prevalence of obesity and many associated health problems such as hypertension insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. The navy-seal formula can be used to screen individuals with high-fat body fat ratio whereas bioelectric impedance can be used to measure the body composition for personal monitoring. Navy-seal formula and bioelectrical impedance are both simple and reliable instruments to measure body composition in adults. Body fat ratio and muscle mass of both genders were similar in underweight, normal, over weight and obese participants. In males, the results on two instruments showed more similarity with the increase in BMI, whereas, in females, the results of the two methods were more similar in the normal weight category. The Navy-seal formula had slightly higher values for both muscle mass and body fat ratio in both genders and across all body mass index (BMI) categories. Data were analyzed on IBM's statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 23 (IBM, Armonk, NY). Participants were then asked to stand on the electrical impedance machine to determine the body fat and muscle mass. Body composition measurements were recorded using a simple measuring tape. Height and weight were measured in 85 study participants using a wall-mounted stadiometer and digital scale. The objective of our study was to compare the results of body fat composition by these two methods. The navy-seal formula is another simple way of measuring body fat ratio which takes into account simple variables such as gender, weight, height, waist, hip and neck circumference.

What is scary is that 60 pounds of me is fat (150 pounds of muscle, bone etc.) Method \ Waist \ Neck \ Height \ Weight \ Male %bf \ Pounds Fat Here are my results so you can see if your formulae are correct: 173 x hip circumference) - (1.574 x forearm circumference) - (0.533 x neck circumference) - (0.200 x wrist circumference) + (105.328 x Log10(weight)) The YMCA formula from the YMCA guide to Physical Fitness Assessment. The Department of Defence formula to compute body-fat percentage is The measurements are in inches and can be easily put into an Excel Spreadsheet as I have shown in the first example. These were developed because they are easy to administer without specialist training, and are more consistent than using, for example, bodyfat calipers or Tanita type scales (mine show +10%). When I was part of a University study, we compared these to the Hydrostatic method, and in each case they were within 3%. As there was some earlier discussion on calculating body fat, there are a number of Anthropometric (measuring) methods that have been developed for use by the US Army, Navy and YMCA.
