Values will often be lower for fitness enthusiasts. Depending on the sporting activities performed, the training
intensity and the physical constitution, the results may still be below the stated standard values. Please note,
however, that there may be a risk to health in the case of extremely low values.
Visceral fat (organ fat/abdominal fat)

Body water content
The body water content in % is normally within the following ranges:
Male
Age Poor
10–100 <50 %
Body fat contains relatively little water, therefore body water content may be below the standard values in per-
sons with a high body fat percentage. On the other hand, endurance 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, for exam-
ple in the case of age-related water retention. Consult your doctor where necessary. A high body water content is
generally desirable.
