Change of fat percentage in a human body
during the day
The indications of fat percentage in a human
body are affected by such factors as lifestyle,
physical activity, health condition and water per-
centage in the body.
You should take into account the following fac-
tors:
Woman (% of fat)
Age
Low
10-39 14-20
40-55 15-21
56-100 16-22
Note: The data in this table is given for recom-
mendation purposes only and can vary, depend-
ing on individual parameters of the user.
Water percentage in a human body
Water percentage in a human body is the
Normal percentage of water in the body is 45-60% for women and 50-65% for men.
Woman (% of water)
Age

10-15 <57
16-30 <47
31-60 <42
61-100 <37

ommendation purposes only and can vary,
depending on individual parameters of the
user.
Body weight index (BMI)
The body weight index is the value that allows to
assess the degree of conformity of a person's
weight with his/her height and thus indirectly tell
whether the body weight is insufficient, normal
or excessive.
Apply the body weight index with caution, only
for a rough estimate – for example, an attempt
to assess by its means the body build of profes-
sional athletes can lead to incorrect results (high
index value in this case is accounted for by the
athlete's well developed musculature).
The body weight index is calculated according to
the formula:
I = h/m 2 , where m is the body weight in kilograms,
h is the height in meters, the index is measured
in kg/m 2 .

•
the fat percentage indications may be less if
measured after taking a bath or a shower,
•
the fat percentage indications may be higher
if measured after having a meal or a drink,
• percentage of liquid in a human body may
decrease and thus change the fat percentage
indications during and after illness and after
physical exercises.

percentage of liquid in the human body to total
weight. Water has primary importance for human
tissues and organs, since 50-65% of our body
consist of water. With this scale you can control
the percentage of water in your body and correct
this important index.

What is bone mass?
Bone tissues are the base of human skeleton;
they are solid and resistant to external impact,
protecting internal organs; together with the
muscle tissue, bone tissues provide the ability of
a human to move.
Bone mass measurement is based on calculating
the minerals mass in a human body (calcium or
other matters). Research has showed that devel-
opment of muscle tissues makes the skeleton
stronger. This fact should be taken into account
when making up a diet and calculating physical
activity to maintain the bones strong and healthy.
