Clinical Formula & Calculation Standard

Official clinical definitions and validated mathematical models

U.S. Army Body Composition Program (ALARACT 046/2023)

Male: BF% = -26.97 - 0.12 × Weight (lb) + 1.99 × Abdomen (in) Female: BF% = -9.15 - 0.015 × Weight (lb) + 1.27 × Abdomen (in)

In June 2023, the U.S. Army updated its tape test standard under ALARACT 046/2023 to a single-site abdominal tape measurement (at the navel) combined with scale weight.

Clinical Insights & Practical Usage

  • Soldiers who achieve a score of 540 or higher on the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), with a minimum of 80 points in each event, are exempt from tape test standards.
  • Measurements must be averaged from three consecutive assessments and rounded to the nearest whole percentage point.
