Aspire body-composition calculator
Body-fat context.
Place a measured body-fat percentage inside a broad age- and sex-specific reference range without pretending it predicts lifespan.
Compare your measurement.
Use the value from a real measurement and record the method so future tests remain comparable.

Measured result:
Interpretation
Use repeat measurements made with the same method and similar hydration and feeding conditions. The trend can be more useful than one isolated result.

Body-composition measurement considerations
Method and limitations.
Broad healthy ranges are drawn from age- and sex-specific body-fat research. They are not athletic targets or individual mortality predictions.
Measurement error can be large enough to change the category near a boundary.

Grip strength
Use a seated Handexer test with the elbow exactly 90 degrees, then compare the best result with international age- and sex-specific quintiles.
