An army body fat standards chart is a table that lists the acceptable body fat percentages for soldiers based on their age and gender. For example, the 2023 chart states that male soldiers between the ages of 17 and 20 must have a body fat percentage of no more than 22%.
These standards are important because they help to ensure that soldiers are fit for duty. They also help to prevent obesity, which can lead to a number of health problems. The standards were first established in 1986, and they have been updated several times since then.
