Read More »High body fat can increase the risk of conditions, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Too little body fat can also potentially harm a person’s fertility, immunity, and heart health. Body mass index (BMI) is a rough estimate of body fat percentage. It is useful as a rough guide. However, it has limitations. For example, people with high muscle mass may have a high BMI without high body fat. Accurately measuring body fat is essential for assessing health risks. In this article, learn about ideal body fat percentages for men and women by age, as well as how to calculate BMI. Body fat percentage table for women Physiologically, women need more essential body fat than men. As such, women require slightly more body fat for good health. Essential body fat is necessary for insulation, the protection of internal organs, vitamin storage, and hormone regulation to promote a healthy pregnancy. Body fat also changes with age. Ideal body fat percentages by age group are as follows: Age 20–29 Category Percentage dangerously low under 14% excellent 14–16.5% good 16.6–19.4% fair 19.5–22.7% poor 22.8–27.1% dangerously high over 27.2% Age 30–39 Category Percentage dangerously low under 14% excellent 14–17.4% good 17.5–20.8% fair 20.9–24.6% poor 24.7-29.1% dangerously high over 29.2% Age 40–49 Category Percentage dangerously low under 14% excellent 14–19.8% good 19.9–23.8% fair 23.9–27.6% poor 27.7–31.9% dangerously high over 31.3% Age 50–59 Category Percentage dangerously low under 14% excellent 14–22.5% good 22.6–27% fair 27.1–30.4% poor 30.5–34.5% dangerously high over 34.6% 60-69 Category Percentage dangerously low under 14% excellent 14–23.2% good 23.3–27.9% fair 28–31.3% poor 31.4–35.4% dangerously high over 35.5% Body fat percentage table for men Men also need to keep their body fat percentage in a healthy range. However, the ideal fat percentages are slightly lower in men than in women. Ideal body fat percentages by age group are as follows: Age 20–29 Category Percentage dangerously low under 8% excellent 8–10.5% good 10.6–14.8% fair 14.9–18.6% poor 18.7–23.1% dangerously high over 23.2% Age 30–39 Category Percentage dangerously low under 8% excellent 8–14.5% good 14.6–18.2% fair 18.3–21.3% poor 21.4–24.9% dangerously high over 25% Age 40–49 Category Percentage dangerously low under 8% excellent 8–17.4% good 17.5–20.6% fair 20.7–23.4% poor 23.5–26.6% dangerously high over 26.7% Age 50–59 Category Percentage dangerously low under 8% excellent 8–19.1% good 19.2–22.1% fair 22.2–24.6% poor 24.7–27.8% dangerously high over 27.9% 60-69 Category Percentage dangerously low under 8% excellent 8–19.7% good 19.8–22.6% fair 22.7–25.2% poor 25.3–28.4% dangerously high over 28.5% How to calculate There is no single formula to accurately calculate a person’s body fat percentage. The best way to measure body fat involves using specialized equipment, usually in a doctor’s office. A doctor can use fat calipers to calculate fat percentages in specific areas of the body. There are several other accurate ways to assess body fat. These include underwater weighing, X-rays, and air displacement plethysmography. Measuring BMI is another way to estimate body fat. Although this method has limitations, BMI does correlate well with body fat in most people. It is also quicker and easier than other methods of measuring body fat. BMI The National Institutes of Health (NIH) offers a free BMI calculator and height- and weight-based BMI chart . The formula for calculating BMI is (weight in pounds x 703) / (height in inches)2. To calculate BMI, a person should: multiply their weight in pounds by 703 multiply their height in inches by itself divide the answer from Step 1 by the answer from Step 2 to calculate their BMI To interpret the final number, a BMI: below 18.5 means a person is underweight
