Health Screening & Diagnostic DisclaimerThe US Navy Circumference Method is a statistical regression equation designed by the Department of Defense for field fitness evaluation. It typically carries a standard error of ±3% to 4% compared to clinical DEXA (Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) or hydrostatic weighing. This software is provided for educational and fitness tracking purposes and does not replace clinical medical diagnostics.
