Body Density Equations: Sloan
Percent bodyfat (%BF) can be calculated from body densty using the Siri Equation.
Males
Body Density = 1.1043 - (0.001327 x thigh skinfold in mm) - (0.00131 x subscapular skinfold in mm), based on a sample aged 18-26.
Females
Body Density = 1.0764 - (0.0008 x iliac crest skinfold in mm) - (0.00088 x tricep skinfold in mm), based on a sample aged 17-25.
