FAQ

How accurate is a tape measure method?

The US Navy formula is typically within ±3–4 percentage points. Good for tracking trends; use BIA or DEXA for precision.

How do I take the measurements?

Neck just below the larynx; waist at the navel (men) or narrowest point (women); hips at the widest point. Keep the tape snug but not compressing.

What are the categories based on?

ACE categories: for men, <6% essential, 6–13% athlete, 14–17% fitness, 18–24% average, 25%+ obese; women's thresholds run ~8 points higher.
