Body fat percentage
The tables listed here provide reference values for the
body fat percentage (%). If you require more accu-
rate information about body fat levels in general or
about your own measurements, please speak to your
physician.
Compared to the reference values, active athlete's tend to
have a lower percentage of body fat. Depending on the
level of training and type of sport, these values may be
below the provided reference values.
An extremely low percentage of body fat may pose a
health risk.
