Body water percentage
NOTICE!
The measurements performed by the scale
do not allow for medically sound conclu-
sions about age-related water retentions. If
you are concerned about your body water
percentage, ask your physician.
The body water percentage is directly related to the per-
centage of body fat and muscle. Body fat contains a rel-
atively low amount of water while muscles tend to store
significantly more water.
