Army Body Composition Program Study Results Concerning: Enrollees Are More Over Fat Than Expected.

CONCLUSION: Soldiers in this study had higher body fat percentages than expected with a majority of Soldiers classified as obese. Achieving and maintaining ABCP standards may be more challenging for obese Soldiers. To maintain Soldier readiness, commanders should consider intervening earlier when signs of weight gain are observed. PMID: 30901401 [PubMed - in process]
