    If you look around the Internet, you will see a lot of different recommendations for body
    fat percentages. As far as I can tell, this is the most authoritative, as it is based on World
    Health Organization and National Institutes of Health recommendations, and takes age
    into account. Please do not confuse these numbers with the BMI (Body Mass
    Index) scores, which are not the same thing.
