Hi Monica,
The Durnin-Womersley formulas are used to evaluate fat mass especially in those subjects with android-type fatty tissue:
ANDROID ADIPOSITY = fat mass concentrated in the face, neck, shoulders and above all in the abdomen above the navel.
FEMALES (20-29 years) D (g / ml) = 1.1599 - 0.0717 x log (p.tric + p. Bic + p.sott + p sovr)
MALE (20-29 years) D (g / ml) = 1.1631 - 0.0632 x log (p.tric + p. Bic + p.sott + p sovr)
D = .............................................
% Fat = (4.950 / D - 4.5) x 100 = .......................
FM =% F x Weight / 100 = ……………………………………
FFM = weight - FM = ………………………………………………
Alternatively you can find all the information on Durnin and Womersley's formulas on our website at body composition evaluation
Sincerely
