age and gender. The table as follows may be used as a guide:
3. Why is it important to monitor percentage Total Body Water (%TBW) in the body?
Water is an essential component of the body and its level is one of the health
indicators. Water makes up approximately between 50-70% of the body's weight.
It is present proportionally more in lean tissue compared to fat tissue. Water is a
medium for biochemical reactions that regulate body functions. Waste products
are carried in water from cells for excretion in urine and sweat. Water provides
form to cells; helps to maintain body temperature; provides moisture to skin and
mucosa; cushions vital organs; lubricates joints and is a component of many

of the body and state of health. Monitoring the level of body water can be a
useful tool for one's health maintenance. Similar to body fat estimation, the %TBW
function provided in this scale is based on BIA.
The estimated %TBW may vary according to your hydration level, that is, how
much water you have drunk or how much you have sweated immediately prior

to the estimation. The accuracy of the scale in estimating TBW will also decrease
with individuals suffering from diseases that tend to accumulate water in the
body.
Please be reminded that the %TBW estimated with the scale represents only a
good approximation of your TBW. There exist clinical methods of estimating total
body water that can be ordered by your physician.
