Body Fat Standard | Reason |
Very High | Body Fat Index at this level indicates the person is seriously |
| obese to a degree that this can have adverse health |
| consequences. Maintaining this level of fat for a long period of |
| time places the person at risk of hypertension, heart disease, |
| and diabetes. Consult your doctor on a |
| and exercise program. |
High | It is likely that the person is obese. Careful implementation and |
| monitoring of diet and exercise is recommended. |
Optimal | This is the ideal level of body fat for the average person. |
Low | For athletes, this is a desirable level of body fat. For regular |
| persons, a regular diet should be considered to improve the |
| balance of body composition. |
Very Low | The level of body fat is dangerously low. Persons in this level |
| should seek to implement a regular diet. Maintaining this level of |
| body composition can place a person at risk of malnutrition and |
| other health risks. |

How Body Fat Index Fluctuates
It is recommended that you choose a time slot to measure body fat and then monitor it regularly at the same condition. Ideally, body hydration level is most stable during late afternoon, right before dinner. Please note the many factors may alter an individual’s body fat reading, including alcohol consumption, taking a bath or exercising, waking up, eating, fever and illnesses.
