Proportion of Body
Water
Whilst the proportion of water
in the body in % is shown in
the display, one of the 9 seg-
ments appears in the bar
below it.
The figure shown in this ana-
lysis reflects the "total body
water" (TBW). The body of an
adult is composed of about
60% water. Here there is of
course a certain range, with
older people showing a lower
proportion of water than
younger people and men sho-
wing a higher proportion than
women.
The distinction between men
and women is a result of the
higher mass of body fat in
women. Since the majority of
the body's water is to be
found in the fat-free mass
(73% of the FFM is water)
and since the water content
in the fat is very low by its
nature (about10% of the
fatty tissue is water), the
proportion of body fat auto-
matically decreases with an
increasing proportion of water
in the body.
