How much body fat is normal?

The normal range of body fat varies by gender. Generally, the normal range of body fat for adult males is 15% to 18%, while it is slightly higher for adult females, at 20% to 25%. This difference is mainly due to differences in physiological structure, hormone levels and fat distribution between males and females. Therefore, gender should be fully considered when assessing body fat. With age, the metabolic rate of the human body gradually decreases, and fat is more likely to accumulate in the body. Therefore, the normal range of body fat percentage varies

according to gender, age and individual differences. Understanding and maintaining normal body fat percentage is important for preventing diseases and maintaining health. Therefore, we should pay attention to our body fat percentage and adopt scientific and effective methods to evaluate and manage it.
