Body fat is our bodies' energy reserve, in case food would get scarce. Women have adapted to carry more body fat so they have more spares in case they should become pregnant when food is scarce. The fat would then be turned into nutrition for them and the baby.
Women with very little body fat may stop menstruating, nature's way of preventing them from having babies when there's not enough food around.
