Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore persons 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 percen-
tage.
Body water measurement with this scale is not suitable for drawing medical conclusions, for ex-
ample concerning age-related water retention. If necessary ask your physician.
Basically, a high body water percentage should be the aim.
Muscle percentage:
The muscle percentage is normally within the following ranges:
Man Woman
Bone mass:
Like the rest of our body, our bones are subject to the natural development, degeneration and
ageing processes. Bone mass increases rapidly in childhood and reaches its maximum between
30 and 40 years of age. Bone mass reduces slightly with increasing age. You can reduce this de-
generation somewhat with healthy nutrition (particularly calcium and vitamin D) and regular exer-
cise. With appropriate muscle building, you can also strengthen your bone structure.
Note that this scale will not show you the calcium content of your bones, but will measure the
weight of all bone constituents (organic substances, inorganic substances and water).
Attention: Please do not confuse bone mass with bone density. Bone density can be determined
only by means of a medical examination (e.g. computer tomography, ultrasound). It is therefore
not possible to draw conclusions concerning changes to the bones and bone hardness (e.g. os-
teoporosis) using this scale.
Little influence can be exerted on bone mass, but it will vary slightly within the influencing factors
(weight, height, age, gender).
BMR:
The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy required by the body at complete rest to
maintain its basic functions (e.g. while lying in bed for 24 hours). This value largely depends on
weight, height and age. It is displayed on the diagnostic scale in kcal/day units using the scienti-
fically recognized Harris-Benedict formula.
Your body requires this amount of energy in any case and it must be reintroduced into your body
in the form of nutrition. If you take on less energy over the longer term, this can be harmful to
your health.
AMR:
The active metabolic rate (AMR) is the amount of energy required daily by the body in its active
state. The energy consumption of a human being rises with increasing physical activity and is
