It's 1am and I can't understand this

I think the far left is percentile. As in, the 99th percentile is very lean.

I'm with you. I'm up working on electrolyte and fluid flashcards. Hyponatremia FTW!

Okay, I originally thought that, but does that mean for ages 20-29 column, at the bottom, that 28.9 - 38.9 is the body fat percentage, which would be classified as very poor? That doesn't seem right... 

Maybe. In that age column, those are the highest body fat numbers.

I agree, it is an odd table though. I guess I see it like a BMI chart; for a female 20-29 y.o., the difference between a "poor" rating and a "very poor" rating would be a body fat %age of 27.1-28.9.

Does that make sense?

I could be totally wrong...
