How to use Body Fat Distribution
Android/gynoid fat distribution, waist-to-hip ratio, and visceral fat risk assessment from measurements.
Choose measurements that describe your actual session or situation, confirm the units, then calculate. Read the result alongside its assumptions and use the tool again when your inputs change.
Inputs explained
Waist (cm)
Enter a measured or estimated value (minimum 50) (maximum 180), using the unit indicated in the field label.
Hip (cm)
Enter a measured or estimated value (minimum 50) (maximum 180), using the unit indicated in the field label.
Sex
Choose the option that matches your context; available options include Male, Female.
Body fat %
Enter a measured or estimated value (minimum 3) (maximum 60), using the unit indicated in the field label.
Height (cm)
Enter a measured or estimated value (minimum 140) (maximum 220), using the unit indicated in the field label.
Age
Enter a measured or estimated value (minimum 18) (maximum 100), using the unit indicated in the field label.
How to interpret the output
Body-composition measures depend on method and hydration. Look for trends instead of interpreting a single reading in isolation.
Repeat measurements using similar conditions when monitoring trends. Numerical predictions can vary with input accuracy, measurement method and individual circumstances.
Limitations and responsible use
Visceral fat estimates from circumference are indirect. DEXA or MRI provide direct measurement.

What does the Body Fat Distribution estimate?
Android/gynoid fat distribution, waist-to-hip ratio, and visceral fat risk assessment from measurements.
Which information do I need for this bodycomp tool?
Provide Waist (cm), Hip (cm), Sex, Body fat %, Height (cm), and any additional fields shown above. Use your own relevant measurements and the units indicated in each field.
How should I interpret the result?
Body-composition measures depend on method and hydration. Look for trends instead of interpreting a single reading in isolation. Compare results with your goals and other relevant observations rather than using a single output to make a major decision.
