The proportion of body fat gives the amount of fat as a percentage of the total weight of
the body. A blanket recommendation for this value does not exist, since this depends
significantly on sex (because of different physiques) and age. Body fat is vital for day-to-
day body function. It protects organs, cushions joints, regulates body temperature,
stores vitamins and serves the body as an energy store. For women, a body fat
proportion between 10% and 13% is essential; for men between 2% and 5% with the
exception of competitive sportsmen.
The proportion of body fat is not an unambiguous indicator of health. Excessive body
weight and a too-high proportion of body fat are being linked with the appearance of
many diseases of affluence such as diabetes, cardiovascular illnesses, etc. Physical
inactivity and poor diet are often triggers for these diseases. There is a clear causal
connection between excess weight and physical inactivity.
A considerable part of the human body consists of water. This body water is
variably distributed throughout the whole body. Lean muscle tissue contains about 75%
water, blood around 83% water, body fat approx. 25% water and bones have a water
proportion of about 22%.
In men approx. 60% of body mass consists of water. In women, that value lies around
55% (determined by a higher proportion of body fat). Of this total body water approx.
two thirds is stored in the cells and is therefore called intracellular water. The other third
is extracellular water.

For muscle mass there are no universal standard values.
there is less water, then somewhat higher. For pregnant women there is no danger to their
unborn children. Nevertheless, during pregnancy the values are so distorted by the water
retention that the measurement has little meaning.
