ues are only approximate values. If one of
your values should be extremely high or low

Body fat percentage
A body fat percentage in the normal range
should be targeted. An increased as well as
an extremely low body fat percentage may
harm your health.
The average body fat percentage increases
with age. Women usually have a higher
body fat percentage than men.
Trained athletes may have a lower body fat
percentage.
Based on the following tables, you can de-
termine the range in which your body fat
percentage lies.
