About the U.S. Navy Body Fat Calculation method:

The U.S. Navy Body Fat Calculation is a method developed by the United States Navy to estimate body fat percentage using simple anthropometric measurements. It is based on the relationship between circumferences (waist, neck, and hips for women) and height, making it a quick and accessible alternative to more advanced methods like DEXA scans or hydrostatic weighing.
This method was primarily designed for use in military settings to assess the fitness levels of personnel and ensure they meet body composition standards. It employs logarithmic equations to estimate body fat distribution and percentage. While practical and easy to perform, its accuracy can vary depending on measurement precision and individual body types.
