Values will often be lower for fitness enthusiasts. Depending on the sporting activities performed, the train-
ing intensity and the physical constitution, the results may still be below the stated standard values. Please
note, however, that there may be a risk to health in the case of extremely low values.
Body water content
The body water content in % is normally within the following ranges:
Male
Female
Age
Poor
Good
Very good
Age
Poor
Good
Very good
10–100
<50%
50–65%
>65%
10–100
<45%
45–60%
>60%
Body fat contains relatively little water, therefore body water content may be below the standard values in
persons with a high body fat percentage. On the other hand, endurance athletes may exceed the standard
values due to having low levels of fat and a high muscle percentage.
The body water calculation performed using this scale is not suitable for drawing medical conclusions,
for example in the case of age-related water retention. Consult your doctor where necessary. A high body
water content is generally desirable.
