Please be aware that values obtained from this body analysis scale represent only an approxi-
mation of actual analytical medical data. Only a specialist physician can accurately determine
body fat, body water and muscle percentage using special medical procedures (e.g. computed
tomography).
Make sure that you enter the desired unit of mass regarding the weight results.
A
lways consult your physician to determine what will be suitable for you.
Body fat
The following body fat percentages are guide values (contact your physician for further information).
A lower value is often found in athletes. Depending on the type of sports, training intensity and physical con-
stitution, 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
According to the World Health Organization (WHO 2001), the percentage of body water should normally
lie within the following ranges:
Women: 50 – 55 %
Men: 60 – 65 %
Children: 65 –75 %
Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore people with a high body fat percentage have body water
percentages below the recommended values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended values
could be exceeded due to low fat percentages 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 percent-
age should be the aim.
Muscle percentage
As the percentage of muscle differs from individual to individual, there are no generally valid guidelines.
