The US Navy body fat standards
The US Navy developed one of the most accurate methods to estimate body fat. It calculates body fat with great precision. This parameter applies to all US Navy service members, as they must meet certain body fat standards (%BF), in order to be eligible for military service.

What are the measurements required?

A measuring tape is all you need. Next, measure your measurements.
  • Height - Make sure to stand straight and walk barefoot.
  • Neck Measure -the circumference just below the larynx (Adam’s apple).
  • Waist Measure - horizontally around the narrowest part for women and at about the navel for men.
  • Hips - measurement should be taken at the hips or buttocks.
  • The US Navy body fat standards

    The US Navy Service Members' Body Fat Limit:
  • Age 18-21 - 22% males, 33% females
  • Age 22-29 - 23% males, 34% females
  • Ages 30 to 39 - 24% for men, 35% females
  • 26% males over 40, 36% females
  • The body fat percentage is an important factor in determining if someone is healthy or obese. It has a higher ability to distinguish between lean mass from fat mass than BMI.
