What the result means

The result summarizes your current estimate, target gap, status, and score. Higher scores mean the value is closer to the selected goal or a generally practical wellness range.

U.S. Navy formula estimates body fat from height, waist, neck, and hip measurements. Fat mass = weight × body fat %. Lean mass = weight − fat mass.
