Definition: This calculator estimates body fat percentage for adult men based on BMI and age using a scientifically validated formula.

Purpose: It helps men assess their body composition and health risks associated with body fat levels.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• BMI — Body Mass Index (weight in kg / height in m²)
• Age — Current age in years (18+)

Explanation: This formula adjusts BMI for age-related changes in body composition that are specific to men.

3. Importance of Body Fat Percentage

• Essential fat: 2-5%
• Athletes: 6-13%
• Fitness: 14-17%
• Average: 18-24%
• Overweight: 25%+

• Enter your accurate BMI (use our BMI calculator if needed)
• Input your current age (18 years or older)
• Results are estimates - for precise measurement consider DEXA scans or calipers

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides a reasonable estimate (±3-5%) for most adult men but may be less accurate for athletes or elderly.

Q2: Why does age affect body fat percentage?
A: Men naturally gain fat and lose muscle mass as they age, even with stable weight.

Q3: What if my result seems too high or low?
A: Consider professional body composition testing. This formula works best for average populations.

Q4: Can I use this if I'm very muscular?
A: This may overestimate body fat for highly muscular individuals. Consider skinfold measurements instead.

Q5: How often should I check my body fat percentage?
A: Monthly checks are sufficient to track trends. Daily fluctuations are normal and not meaningful.
