24% is still pretty high for a male, IMHO. But some of the fatasses we see here are easily pushing 30%+. My husband's at his highest to date (in his thirties now) at 10%.  As far as women go, 17-25% is what I'd consider healthy. I sit at 21, but I'm probably around 22% right now due to injury. 30-34% BF on a woman is edging, if not already past, the overweight threshold.
