Yes, it is healthier. BMI is almost completely useless, its size / weight does not determine your overall health. His body fat percentage is. Imagine someone who is 5 'tall, but he is a solid wall of muscle and weighs approximately 200th If that person is not healthy? No.
Now imagine a person who is 6 "tall and has a thin body, but it has lots of fat and weighs about 200th This person would be in good health.
The lowest percentage of body fat, the less fat you can affect the process of the body, since it covers substances.
I do not know, but it is better to go with less fat, but to see what you can do for you
I hate the BMI chart does not include the natural systems of the body. It is best to go from their proportion of body fat, because its more accurate to say how much fat you have in your body means the most. Percentage of body fat is more, if your child can be identified talking about his own body. For example, a woman who is not in a position to maintain "healthy" if you have too little or too much fat on you. go by the percentage of fat, which for you as an individual.
I am a little confused to see the math,% fat, but always a better way to see what the IMC. However, a precise BF much harder than anything else (not think) of the imagination. "
