Understanding Army Body Fat Standards

The U.S. Army uses a specific method to calculate body fat percentage based on circumference measurements. This method, while not as accurate as hydrostatic weighing or DEXA scans, provides a consistent and practical way to assess body composition.

Army Body Fat Percentage Standards

  • Men: Maximum allowed body fat ranges from 20% to 26% based on age
  • Women: Maximum allowed body fat ranges from 30% to 36% based on age

Measurement Tips

  • Take all measurements first thing in the morning
  • Use a proper measuring tape, pulled snug but not tight
  • Take each measurement three times and use the average
  • Stand straight with feet together for consistent measurements
