To use The nomogram:

1) Locate the sum of your three skinfolds in the right column and mark it.

2) Locate your age in years on the far left column and mark it.

3) Connect the two marks with a straightedge. Where the straightedge intersects the line in the middle column

appropriate to you, you will find your body-fat percentage.
