Frequently Asked Questions

How is body fat estimated from BMI?

The formula uses BMI, age, and gender to estimate body fat percentage: BF% = (1.20 × BMI) + (0.23 × Age) - (10.8 × Gender) - 5.4, where Gender = 1 for male, 0 for female.

How accurate is BMI-based estimation?

Typically within a few points of DEXA for average builds — an estimate for general fitness tracking, not a clinical measure. Less accurate for athletes with high muscle mass, elderly, or very lean individuals. Defaults (BMI 24, age 30, male) estimate 19.5%.

What fitness categories are shown?

Essential fat, athletes, fitness, acceptable, and obese ranges for both men and women. These follow WHO and ACSM guidelines.

What inputs do I need?

Your BMI, age, and gender — enter a BMI you already know or compute one first with the BMI calculator.
