Answer #1

The average weight of a 45 year old woman is around 80 kgs.

Age of the the woman = 45 years

Weight of the woman = 80 kilograms

Skinfold thickness

Triceps = 14 mm

Thigh = 32 mm

Suprailium = 28 mm

Formula for :-

Body fat percentage = 495 /(1.089733 - (0.0009245*s) + (0.0000025*s*s) - (0.0000979*a)) -450

Here s - 3 skin folds of the body , a - age of the woman

Thus the average fat percentage of a 45 year old woman with given skinfold measurement is around 29%.
