Body fat ranges for women are misleading/incorrect

My body fat % is 31.1%. The app reports this as “obese”!. This is ridiculous. I’m 5ft 1” and weigh 8st which is definitely not obese! my body fat is def higher than I would like, but various guidelines suggest for a woman of my age (51) anything up to around 34% body fat is fine.
Please revise the scales and ranges you are using for body fat percentage.

Hi Sophie Dennis, sorry for the late response. Which data sources are you referring to? We pull our data from The American Council on Exercise (ACE).
