8.3 Body fat percentage

The following body fat percentages are for guidance (contact your physician for further information).
Man
Age very good good
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 consti-
tution, 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.

8.4 Body water

The body water percentage is normally within the following ranges:
Man
Age poor good
10 -100 <50 % 50 - 65 %
Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore persons with a high body fat percentage have body water per-
centages below the recommended values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended values could
be exceeded due to low fat percentages and high muscle percentage.
Body water measurement with this scale is not suitable for drawing medical conclusions, for example concern-
ing age-related water retention. If necessary ask your physician.
Basically, a high body water percentage should be the aim.

8.5 Muscle percentage

The muscle percentage is normally within the following ranges:
Man
Age low normal
10 -14 <44% 44 - 57 %
15 -19 <43% 43 - 56 %
20 - 29 <42% 42 - 54 %
30 - 39 <41% 41- 52 %
40 - 49 <40% 40 - 50 %
50 - 59 <39% 39 - 48 %
60 - 69 <38% 38 - 47 %
70 -100 <37% 37- 46 %

8.6 Bone mass

Like the rest of our body, our bones are subject to the natural development, degeneration and ageing processes.
Bone mass increases rapidly in childhood and reaches its maximum between 30 and 40 years of age. Bone mass
reduces slightly with increasing age. You can reduce this degeneration somewhat with healthy nutrition (par-
ticularly calcium and vitamin D) and regular exercise. With appropriate muscle building, you can also strengthen
your bone structure.
Note that this scale will not show you the calcium content of your bones, but will measure the weight of all bone
constituents (organic substances, inorganic substances and water).
