What is the normal range of body fat percentage?

Generally, the normal range of body fat percentage is between 18.5 kg/m^2 and 23.9 kg/m^2, and it also needs to be judged according to the patient’s personal height, weight, and physical condition.

Body fat percentage can effectively judge whether a patient is overweight or underweight. If the body index is less than 18.5 kg/m^2, it may indicate that the patient’s body is underweight, with most cases suffering from malnutrition. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up on nutrients and to supplement them in a timely manner. If the body index is between 24 kg/m^2 and 27.9 kg/m^2, it may indicate overweight, with a tendency to gain weight, often caused by consuming high-calorie and high-fat foods in daily life. It is necessary to control one’s dietary habits.

If the value is higher than the normal level, it usually indicates obesity and requires going to the hospital for relevant examinations. Regular physical exercise can reduce the incidence of diseases.
