Evaluating the measurements
People with a lower percentage of body fat and high
muscle percentage may exhibit a body water percent-
age that exceeds the reference values (such as endur-
ance athletes).
Vice-versa, the body water percentage for people with a
high percentage of body fat is often less than reference
values.
Generally speaking, a high percentage of body water is
ideal.
The following tables provide an overview of reference
values for the body water percentage (%).
