The ideal body fat percentage varies depending on age, sex, and activity level. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, for people aged 20 to 39, women should aim for 21% to 32% of body fat, while men should have 8% to 19%. For people aged 40 to 59, women should fall between 23% to 33% and men should fall around 11% to 21%. If you’re aged 60 to 79, women should have 24% to 35% body fat and men should have 13% to 24% . However, its important to note that there is no agreed-upon normal range for body fat, and the "right" weight and fat percent for an individual depend upon multiple factors such as age, sex, and activity level. While BMI and other measurements such as body fat percentage do serve a purpose, it’s also important to remember that moving your body and making purposeful choices about the foods you eat also contribute to your overall health.
