For intermediate values, use linear interpolation: For a 35 year old male with a sum of 52 mm, the value for 50 mm is
21.5 and for 55 mm is 22.5. The difference is 1. The value you want is 21.5 + [{(52 – 50)/(55-50)} * (22.5 – 21.5)] = 21.9
In general, take the table value for the lower end of the interval (21.5 for 50 mm for this case), add to that the fraction you
calculate by subtracting the lower sum from your calculated sum (52-50)=2, divided by the difference between intervals
(55-50) = 5; or 2/5 = 0.4. Multiply that value times the difference between the body fat estimates for the lower and upper
end of the intervals (22.5 – 21.5) = 1; 1 * 0.4 = 0.4; added to 21.5 = 21.9% body fat.
