The body fat percentage for a person is estimated from the BMI of the person by employing a multiple regression analysis using the reciprocal of the BMI (1/BMI) as the independent variable. In other embodiments, potentially independent and easily obtained variables such as age, sex, and ethnicity are also used in conjunction to provide precise estimates of the body fat percentage. Devices for estimating the body fat percentage can be implemented as calculators, smart scales, and Internet web sites.
