Proportion of body fat

Individual recommendation

Whilst the proportion of body fat in % is shown in the display,

one of the 9 segments appears in the bar below it.

Too much body fat is unhealthy and does not look nice. What

is more important is that a high proportion of body fat is also

usually associated with a raised proportion of fat in the blood

and this increases greatly the risk of various illnesses such as

for instance diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure etc.

But a very low proportion of body fat is equally unhealthy.

Apart from the fatty tissue under the skin, the body also stores

important fat deposits for the protection of the internal organs

and to ensure important metabolic functions. If this essential

fat reserve is compromised, this can lead to metabolic distur-

bance. So for instance in women with body fat figures of

under 10%, menstruation may cease. In addition, the risk of

osteoporosis increases.

The normal proportion of body fat is dependent on age and

above all on sex. In women the normal figure is about 10%

higher than in men. With increasing age the body loses muscle

mass and so the proportion of body fat increases.

The Body Balance uses your personal data and the recommen-

dations of health experts to determine your ideal weight and

body fat level.

In addition, it determines the percentage of total body water

and muscle proportion. Please note that your muscles also

contain body water and this is already covered by the body

water analysis. Therefore the total analysis always shows a

value above 100%.

Body weight

Whilst the body weight is shown in the display in kg, one of

the 9 segments is shown in the bar below it.

Here the position of the active segment indicates the asses-

sment of the body weight mentioned on the basis of the BMI

figure. The BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure for the health

risk resulting from overweight or underweight. On the basis of

categorisation of the BMI, doctors distinguish between

"underweight”, "normal weight”, "overweight” and "obese”.

BMI =

Example:

Actual body fat proportion calculated = 16.6 % of

total weight

This value is about 7 % below the calculated individual

standard value of 23.6 %.
