What is the average body fat of a 10 year old boy?

Answer 1

Standard body weight scales provide a measure of total weight, but don't determine the lean-to-fat ratio of that weight. Standing on most scales can tell you only if you weigh more than the average person, but not if that weight is fat or muscle. Based only on scale weight, a 250-pound athlete with 8% body fat may be considered "overweight" by a typical weight chart. Such charts are not a good indication of ideal body weight for general health or for athletic performance.

u can try this method :

One method of body composition analysis in which a person is weighed while submerged in a large tank of water is called underwater or hydrostatic weighing This method of determining body composition relies on Archimedes' Principle of displacement which states: # The density of fat mass and fat-free mass are constant # Lean tissue is more dense than water # Fat tissue is less dense than water. # Therefore person with more body fat will weigh less underwater and be more buoyant. Underwater weighing has been considered the gold standard for body composition assessment, however new, more sophisticated methods may make underwater weighing obsolete in the future.

Answer 2

Depens entirely on your weight and a bit less on height.

But for an average 15-16 year old a bodyfat percentage between 11 and 22 should be good.

Answer 3

I am 12 years old I am a skinny person I only have 10% of fat in my body but my doctor claims I'm still very healthy. The average would be around 17%.

Answer 4

11%
