Which combination correctly represents female measurement sites?

Which combination correctly represents female measurement sites?

• A. Neck, Abdomen, Hip
• B. Neck, Wrist, Ankle
• C. Neck, Waist, Hip
• D. Neck, Back, Knee

Answer: (C)

Measuring female body fat using the circumference method relies on three specific sites: the neck, the natural waist, and the widest part of the hips. These three measurements are used together to estimate body fat percentage under AR 600-9. The other options include sites that aren’t used for females (wrist, ankle, back, knee) or swap in an abdomen measurement, which is used for males, not females. So the combination of neck, waist, and hip is the one that aligns with the official procedure.
