27.0–27.9
range
Twenty-seven percent in men typically shows a prominent abdomen and flanks, with the navel sitting in a deeper field of subcutaneous fat. The chest and upper back are padded. Vascularity is absent. Facial fullness is common. Lower-body fat is obvious at the hips and inner thighs. A history of lifting may still be visible as thickness through the traps and upper chest, but the overall impression is bulk rather than shape. This band appears often in sedentary or lightly active adults. The visual step from 25% is modest in a single casual photo and clearer in waist measurements and side profiles. Lighting will not restore abdominal lines. As with neighboring percentages, the same scan can clothe very differently on a 5'7" frame versus a 6'2" frame.

28 year old male 5ft7, r/Fitness progress post covering two DXA scans about 21 months apart; the linked imgur album dexa-RB5PG shows the GE Lunar iDXA body composition history with a 10/03/2013 scan at 182.5 lb total mass and Total Region percent Fat 27.4, plus front and side before-and-after physique photos in boxers with the faces whited out, SFW; the before photo is described as taken when he weighed about 180 at the peak of the graph, so it is close to but not exactly dated to the 2013 scan, hence needs_review; album verified loading 2026-08-11; the later 06/19/2015 scan from the same post is recorded separately
