A woman needs at least 17%% body fat for normal reproductive function. When the percentage of stored fat is too low, it disrupts ovulation and interferes with getting pregnant. Catherine has always been skinny. She once even thought about trying a modeling career. Catherine is now 29 years old, and she and her husband are thinking about having children soon. Catherine is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 104 pounds. She calculated her BMI as 17.9 kg/m2 but all the information about fertility and weight she could "goggle out" was about percent body fat, not BMI. What is Catherine's percent body fat?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Catherine Percent body fat is 22.75

Explanation:

Taking a note of the figures given, we have,

Catherine Age = 29 years

Height = 5 feet 4 inch

Weight = 104 pound

BMI = 17.9 kg/m²

Now, considering the formula for calculating Percentage body fat which is

(1.20 × BMI ) + (0.23 × Age) - 5.4

Now inserting the value of the given BMI and the given age,

We have, (1.20 × 17.9 ) + (0.23 × 29) - 5.4

             = 21.48 + 6.67 - 5.4

             = 28.15 - 5.4

                22.75.

Therefore, Catherine percentage body fat is = 22.75
