Parameters:

(3) sex (0 for male, 1 for female)

percent body fat =

= (0.503 * (age)) + (10.689 * (points for sex)) + (3.172 * (BMI)) - (0.026 * ((BMI)^2)) + (0.181 * (BMI) * (points for sex)) - (0.02 * (BMI) * (age)) - (0.005 * ((BMI)^2) * (points for sex)) + (0.00021 * ((BMI)^2) * (age)) - 44.988
