Male Body Fat Percentage Ranges and Health Implications
Maintaining a body fat percentage in the range of 10-20% for males is generally associated with good health. Individuals within this range, without other health conditions, are typically in good shape. Lowering body fat below 10% can bring about notable health improvements, but going below 5% may introduce challenges and stress on the body systems, impacting hormonal levels, injury risk, and mental health.
