Most of the time, people generally associate percentages of body fat with bodybuilders or world class athletes. Typically, bodybuilders or even some professional athletes must maintain a low percentage of body fat in order to compete.
Obviously, if you are not a world class athlete or professional bodybuilder, you definitely would not be expected to carry 4% - 5% percent body fat. In fact, having a body fat percent of 5% or lower is actually considered harmful for most people who are not athletes. And of course, increased numbers of 25% or higher could be something that is healthy or unhealthy based on age, build and whether male or female.
