The answer is fertility problems. For women, if you're body fat percentage is too low, it can be difficult to become pregnant.

Answer:

Fertility problems

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of fat for women is not only related to the reserves they will have when being pregnant, but fat has also a direct relationship with hormones important for fertility, like leptin, which is made by adipocytes, also called lipocytes or fat cells.
