    This document provides instructions on using formulas from various studies to predict body fat percentage from skinfold measurements. It includes a table with sample anthropometric data for a 30-year old male and female, including height, weight, and skinfold thicknesses. The table then displays the calculated body density, fat percentage, fat mass, and fat-free mass values using equations from Durnin & Womersley (1974) and Jackson & Pollock (1978) for males, and Jackson et al. (1980) for females.
