Body Fat Percentage

• Women naturally have a higher body fat percentage than men at the same BMI due to hormonal and physiological differences.

• Men generally have more lean muscle mass, which can make BMI less accurate for athletic individuals.

Health Considerations

• For women, a BMI on the lower end might still be healthy, but too low can lead to risks such as hormonal imbalances.

• Men with a higher BMI due to muscle mass might not be at the same risk as someone with the same BMI due to excess fat.
