Lean body weight in males: A person’s lean body weight L is the amount he or she would weigh if all body fat were magically to disappear. One text3 gives the “equation that practitioners can use most feasibly in the field to predict lean body weight in young adult males.” The equation is
L = 98.42 + 1.08W − 4.14A .
Here L is lean body weight in pounds, W is weight in pounds, and A is abdominal circumference in inches. Find the approximate lean body weight of a young adult male who weighs 188 pounds and has an abdominal circumference of 35 inches. What is the weight of his body fat? What is his body fat percent?
