Answer:

Her body type corresponds with a fitness lifestyle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The body mass index is a bit elevated for a woman who has low fat percentage and a thin waistline, nevertheless BMI here is not accurate. If we take into consideration that BMI only considers height and weight, plus the body fat and waist circumference data provided, we are able to conclude that this BMI corresponds to a higher muscle mass.

The percentage of fat in her body indicates a fit body, the average woman have between approx 25-31%, whereas fit woman have approx 21-25%.

Moreover her waist circumference also indicates a fit body.
