Recommended body fat percentage
The body fat ratio for different ages and gender.
Age Female Male
18-39 21-32% 8-19%
40-59 23-33% 11-21%
60-69 24-35% 13-24%
Note! Depending on physique, lower and higher rate can also be acceptable.
Above table are simply general guidelines. For a more exact estimation, contact your doctor.
Note that the fat percentage does not change as fast as weight but changes over a longer time. You can
therefore not expect great changes from one weighing to another. The state between fat and muscles
changes slowly.
Body fluid percentage
According to World health Organization (WHO 2001) you should have a body fluid percentage within
the following terms:
Female: 50-55%
Male: 60-65%
Note! Depending on physique lower and higher rate can also be acceptable.
The body of an adult contains of about 60% body fluid. The range may vary for a number of reasons for
example; elderly has a lower proportion of body fluid than younger, male has a higher proportion of fluid
than female etc. The majority of body fluid is to be found in the fat free mass which leads to that the body
fluid automatically decreases with increasing proportion of fat.
Muscle percentage
No exact guidelines are available for muscle percentage. Note that the muscles consists of fluid, this fluid
will be included when estimating both muscle percentage as well as body fluid percentage.
How to input personal information
Remove the plastic stripe from the battery lid. Set the scale for kg, st or lb by pressing the round button
located under the scale with the same marking.
Body Light can be programmed for 4 users. The scale should be programmed if you should use it for
estimation of fat percentage, body fluid percentage and muscle percentage. The data will be memorized
until it´s amended manually.
Note:
Never skip a setting. •
It´s important that you use your own setting each time you use the scale to be able to follow your own •
progress.
Limitations
Note that the electronic scale is based on a number of complicated measurements and preprogrammed
data that represents normal- and middle group of persons, which makes the scale usable for most of the
population. Body Light can be used by everyone for normal weighing but for estimation of fat-, fluid and
muscle percentage the exactness of the result may vary for the following persons and the result may be
misleading for exceptional groups of people.
Persons on medication. •
Persons with severe over- or underweight. •
