What is the percent fat of an obese male?

• A. 25
• B. 30
• C. 35
• D. 40

Answer: (B)

Body fat percentage is used to gauge how much fat tissue a person has relative to lean tissue, and it helps classify health risk. For men, the line between overweight and obesity is around 25–30 percent, depending on the chart used. In many educational resources, 30 percent is the point at which a man is categorized as obese, while 25 percent is often still considered overweight. Higher values like 35 or 40 percent fall into more severe obesity categories. So, 30 percent sits at the boundary where the classification shifts from overweight to obese, which is why it’s the best choice for the question.
