What it is

The share of your body mass that is fat, estimated from a bioimpedance measurement or a DXA scan.

Why it matters

It separates a weight change worth having from one that is not: two people at the same weight can differ enormously here.

Reading the number

Healthy bands differ sharply by sex, roughly 10 to 20 percent for men and 18 to 28 for women, so the range seeded here may not be yours. Devices disagree by several points, so compare only readings taken on the same machine.

When to raise it

Worth mentioning a sustained rise alongside your lipid and glucose results.

Tracking only, not a diagnosis. The range above is a typical adult reference range — the range printed by the lab that ran your test is the one that applies to you. Discuss anything that concerns you with your doctor.
