Calculate Body Density





Formula

The formula to calculate body density is:

\[ \text{D} = 1.1422 - [0.0544 \times \log(\text{skinfold sum})] \]

What is Body Density?

Body density is defined as the total mass per unit volume of an individual human. It’s often estimated using a formula like the one above, which takes skinfold measurements throughout the body.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{D} = 1.1422 - [0.0544 \times \log(50)] = 1.1422 - [0.0544 \times 1.69897] = 1.1422 - 0.0924 = 1.0498 \]

The body density is 1.0498 g/m³.
