Does height have any effect on body fat percentage?
just wondering, because on a body fat percent calculator I filled out, it asked me my weight(200) and inches around certain parts of your body but it didnt ask any length measurements. I am 6'7 and in very good shape. It said I have a 11.5% body fat, which isnt bad but I think its better than that.

- yes it has everything to do with height becuase it is basically how much fat you have per so much height
- If you used an online body fat calculator, it won't be accurate anyway. You need to either have your body fat percentage measured by callipers, hydrostatic weighing or DXEA. But no, height does not have any affect on body fat percentage. The whole point of your body fat being measured as a percentage is that it is in relation to the rest of your lean body mass and that will include weight coming from the length of your frame, i.e. your height.
