What is the Army body fat method?
The Army body fat method estimates body fat percentage using circumference measurements and a log-based formula.
How is Army body fat calculated?
Men use height, neck, and waist. Women use height, neck, waist, and hips. All measurements are converted to inches before calculation.
How to measure correctly
Measure the neck below the larynx, the waist at navel level, and hips at the widest part for women.
Army vs Navy body fat methods
Army and Navy circumference formulas are similar, but they are used in different standards and contexts.
Limitations
This method is not as accurate as DEXA or lab testing and depends heavily on measurement accuracy.
