What Is Total Body Water Percentage?
Total Body Water Percentage is the total amount of fluid in a person’s body expressed as a percentage of their total weight.
Water plays a vital role in many of the body’s processes and is found in every cell, tissue and organ. Maintaining a healthy total body
water percentage ensures the body functions efficiently and reduces the risk of developing associated health problems.
Your body water levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day and night. Your body tends to be dehydrated after a long night's sleep
and there are differences in fluid distribution between day and night. Eating large meals, drinking alcohol, menstruation, illness,
exercising and bathing may cause variations in your hydration levels.
Your body water percentage reading should be used as a guide and should not be used to specifically determine your recommended
total body water percentage. It is important to look for long-term changes in total body water percentage and maintain a consistent,
healthy total body water percentage.
Drinking a large quantity of water in one sitting will not instantly change your body water level. In fact, it will increase your body fat
reading due to the additional weight gain. Please monitor all readings over time to track relative changes.
Every individual is different, but as a guide the average total body water percentage ranges for a healthy adult are:
Female: 45 to 60%
Male: 50 to 65%
Source: Tanita Research
Note: The total body water percentage will tend to decrease as the percentage of body fat increases. A person with a high percentage
of body fat may fall below the average body water percentage. As you lose body fat, the total body water percentage should gradually
move towards the typical range given above.

What Is Visceral Fat Rating?
This function indicates the amount of visceral fat in your body.
Visceral fat is the fat that is in the internal abdominal cavity, surrounding the vital organs in the abdominal area. Research shows that
even if your weight and body fat remains constant, as you get older the distribution of fat changes and is more likely to shift to the
abdominal area especially post menopause. Ensuring you have healthy levels of visceral fat may reduce the risk of certain diseases
such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and the onset of type 2 diabetes.
The Tanita Body Composition Monitor provides you with a visceral fat rating from 1 – 59.
Rating 1 - 12  
Indicates you have a healthy amount of visceral fat. Continue monitoring your rating to ensure that it stays within this healthy range.
Rating 13 - 59
Indicates you have an excess amount of visceral fat. Consider making changes in your lifestyle by changing your diet or exercising
more.

Note: You may have a high visceral fat level even if you have a low body fat rate.
