Body fat

The US Navy method estimates body-fat percentage from neck and waist circumferences (plus hip circumference for women) and height. It provides a practical tape-measure reading rather than a clinical laboratory measurement.

cm
Neck circumference in centimetres — just below the larynx (Adam's apple), tape sloping slightly downward towards the front, not compressing the tissue.
cm
Abdomen circumference in centimetres — tape horizontal at navel level, breathing out naturally, without pulling the stomach in.
