It's not risky if it's a natural set point for your body. It doesn't sound like you have to try hard to maintain that level so you should be fine. Problems occur when you force your body into an unnatural state for long periods of time then you can start running into immune problems. I'm assuming your male of course because if your 5.3% and female you are in trouble.
