How to measure

  1. Neck: measure just below the larynx (Adam's apple), tape sloping slightly downward to the front.
  2. Waist: measure at the navel, relaxed, not sucking in.
  3. Hip (women only): measure at the widest point of the hips.

This method is an estimate, not a lab-grade measurement (like DEXA or hydrostatic weighing) — accuracy typically falls within a few percentage points for most people.
