Body fat percentage

The body fat values are displayed on the display and analysed in the bar graph. The
following body fat percentages are guide values (contact your physician for further in-
formation).
Man
Age low normal
10-14 <11 11-16
15-19 <12 12-17
20-29 <13 13-18
30-39 <14 14-19
40-49 <15 15-20
50-59 <16 16-21
60-69 <17 17-22
70-100 <18 18-23
A lower value is often found in athletes. Depending on the type of sports, training inten-
sity and physical constitution, values may result which are below the recommended
values stated. It should, however, be noted that there could be a danger to health in the
case of extremely low values.

Body water percentage

The body water percentage is normally within the following ranges:
Man
Age poor
10-100 <50
Body fat contains relatively little water. People with a high proportion of body fat may
therefore have a proportion of body water below the guideline values. With endurance
athletes, however, the recommended values could be exceeded due to low fat percent-
ages and high muscle percentage.
This scale is unsuitable for measuring body water in order to draw medical conclusions
concerning age-related water retention, for example. If necessary ask your physician.
Basically, a high body water percentage should be the aim.
