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.
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 long-term weight loss
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.
