10. evaluation of results

Body fat percentage
Body fat content is evaluated with the arrow on the left edge of the display. The following body fat percen-
tages are guide values (contact your physician for further information).
Man
green yellow
Age low normal
10 -14 <11 % 11-16 %
15 -19 <12 % 12 -17 %
20 - 29 <13 % 13 -18 %
30 - 39 <14 % 14 -19 %
40 - 49 <15 % 15 - 20 %
50 - 59 <16 % 16 - 21 %
60 - 69 <17 % 17- 22 %
70 -100 <18 % 18 - 23 %
A lower value is often found in athletes. Depending on the type of sports, training intensity and physical
constitution, values may result which are below the recommended values stated. It should, however, be
noted that there could be a danger to health in the case of extremely low values.
Body water percentage
The body water percentage is normally within the following ranges:
Man
Age poor
10 -100 <50
Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore persons with a high body fat percentage have body wa-
ter percentages below the recommended values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended
values could be exceeded due to low fat percentages and high muscle percentage.
This scale is unsuitable for measuring body water in order to draw medical conclusions concerning age-
related water retention, for example. If necessary ask your physician. Basically, a high body water percen-
tage should be the aim.
