Can someone please tell me what the mathimatic formula (equation) for determining body fat is? I know it has something to do with height, and weight.

It has to do with calliper measurements along different areas of the body and bodyweight. There was a thread that I posted the exact formula only a couple weeks ago.

It was explained to me something like this:

The larger the motion
of the ocean;
the more cushion
for the pushin'.

which derives to something like:
38, 24, 36 = (height <= 5'3")

and ummm:
the temperature of the weather outside is inversely proportional to the weight of the girl you want inside.



hope it helps...

I have an old statistics assignment where I came up with a model based on this (http://www.stat.sfu.ca/~tim/assgts/bodyfat) data set. Since most people don't know their density from underwater weighing, I also ran a test with that variable thrown out. If anyone wants I could dig it up and post the equations I came up with.

Yes, please, out of interest.
