Hello, I thought this would be a good sub to ask this in since this is the sub that introduced me to the waist to height measurement system. My issue is that according to this system, I’m underweight when that’s just not true BMI wise. The measurements are as follows, and I know for a fact that they’re correct as I tailor my own clothes and use this waist measurement when I do so.
Height: 5’3 Waist: 24” Determination: 38% - underweight Height: 5’3 Weight: 113lbs Determination: 20.1 - healthy weight
How is it possible to get such wildly different results, and which one is more correct? Edit: fixed typo
If you can save up $50, finding a hydrostatic testing place near you can give you almost exact body fat and muscle numbers. My sister goes to one that travels around our area, it’s built into the trailer of a semi.
