What is a body type calculator?
A body type calculator estimates a broad body type from simple measurements such as height, weight, wrist, waist, and hip.
What are ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph?
Ectomorph usually describes a lighter, smaller-framed build. Mesomorph usually describes a medium or athletic build. Endomorph usually describes higher body mass or a higher waist-to-height ratio.
How is body type estimated?
This calculator combines BMI, frame size, waist-to-height ratio, and waist-to-hip ratio when available to produce a rough classification.
Limitations of body type calculators
Body type categories are simplified and less reliable than body composition measurements such as body fat percentage or lean body mass.
