15 -19 <12 % 12 -17 % 17.1- 22 % >22.1 %
20 - 29 <13 % 13 -18 % 18.1- 23 % >23.1 %
30 - 39 <14 % 14 -19 % 19.1- 24 % >24.1 %
40 - 49 <15 % 15 - 20 % 20.1- 25 % >25.1 %

70 -100 <18 % 18 - 23 % 23.1- 28 % >28.1 %
Athletes will usually have lower values. Depending on the sport, training intensity, and your physical consti-
tution, results may still be below the stated ranges. Please note that there may be health risks in the case
of extremely low values.
Body Water Content
Body water content in percent is normally within the following ranges:
Men
Poor Good Very good
<50% 50–65% >65%
Body fat contains relatively little water; therefore, body water content may be below the standard values in
persons with a high body fat percentage. On the other hand, some athletes may exceed the standard values
due to having low levels of fat and a high muscle percentage.
The body water calculation performed using this scale is not suitable for drawing medical conclusions, such
as in the case of age-related water retention. Consult your doctor where necessary. A high body water con-
tent is generally desirable.
Muscle Percentage
Muscle percentage is normally within the following ranges:
Men
Age Low Normal High
10 -14 <44% 44–57% >57%
Average Poor
