According to an article from Medscape.com, the American Dietetic Association recommends that men have 15-18% body fat and women have 20-25% body fat. Healthy male athletes might be as low as 5-12% body fat, and healthy female athletes could be as low as 10-20%.

There are different standards for 'athletes' vs 'non-atheletes', and their bodies respond differently. (random study on PCOS & Athletes>>
PCOS may aid athletes )
The original question is asking about non-athletes, with excess bodyfat who change their body composition to one that is healthy, and what (if any) change that will bring about.
