Body Fat Equations: Yuhasz
These equations based on the research by Yuhasz give a value for body fat percent from skinfold test results. See more equations for measuring body fat using skinfold measures. All skinfold measurements are in millimeters (mm)
Yuhasz Equations
Males (two equations have been found)
- % Body Fat = (0.1051 x sum of triceps, subscapular, supraspinale, abdominal, thigh, calf) + 2.585, based on a sample of college students.
- % Body Fat = (0.097 x sum of chest, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac, abdominal, thigh) + 3.64, as used in the NHL draft testing.
Females
- % Body Fat = (0.1548 x sum of triceps, subscapular, supraspinale, abdominal, thigh, calf) + 3.580, based on a sample of college students.
