Explanation / Answer

According to a journal published in the British Journal of Nutrition we can use the following equation to predict adult body fat percentage:

For men: (1.20 x BMI) + (0.23 x age) – 10.8 – 5.4

For women: (1.20 x BMI) + (0.23 x age) – 5.4

Using the above formulae for Catherine:

% of body fat = (1.20 x 17.9) + (0.23 x 29) - 5.4 = 22.75%

The body fat % of Catherine is 22.75%
