Now enter the left column of Table 2 with FP = 59. From this
number run your finger horizontally (to the right) until it
intersects the vertical column headed by her 66 inch height.
The number at the intersection is her Body Fat Percentage,
which is found to be 32.9 %. According to Table 1, a healthy
body fat percentage range for women ages 41 to 60 is 23 %
to 35 %. Thus at 32.9 % this 45 year-old womans body fat
percentage is in the healthy range.
