Body fat percentage is the proportion of your body weight that consists of fat tissue. It's a more accurate measure of fitness than weight alone, as it accounts for muscle mass and overall body composition.
Healthy body fat ranges vary by gender and age. For men: 6-24% (athletes: 6-13%, fitness: 14-17%, average: 18-24%). For women: 16-31% (athletes: 14-20%, fitness: 21-24%, average: 25-31%).
