The body fat content is shown as the amount of stored fat as a percentage of total body weight.
There is no generally accepted set value as this varies significantly according to gender (due to the
different build) and age. Body fat is vital for basic body functions. It' s protecting organs, cushioning
joints, regulating body temperature, storing vitamins, and serves the body as energy storage. As
essential for women a minimum body fat proportion between 10% and 13% and for men between
10% and 13% is requested - with the exception of competitive athletes.
Body fat is not a clear indicator for health. Too high body weight and a too high body fat proportion
are linked to the incidence of many civilization diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases,
etc. Lack of movement and improper nutrition are often the prime course for these diseases. There is
a obvious direct relationship between overweight and lack of movement.
A significant part of the human body consists of body water. This body water is differently distributed
throughout the whole body. Lean muscle tissue contains approx. 75% body water, blood approx.
83% body water, body fat approx. 25% body water and bones have a water content of about 22%.
The average total body-water percentage range for healthy men is between 50 – 65%. The equivalent
value for women is approximately 45 – 60% due to the higher body fat content. About two third of the
total body water is stored in the cells and is therefore called intra cellular. The other third of the total
body water is extra cellular body water.
