Body fat percentage
The following body fat values in % are intended as
a guide.
For more information, please contact your
physician.

20–29 <13 % 13–18 % 18.1–23 % >23.1 %
30–39 <14 % 14–19 19.1–24 % >24.1 %

70–100 <18 % 18–23 % 23.1–28 % >28.1 %
Female

15-19 <17 % 17– 22 % 22.1–27 % >27.1 %
20-29 <18 % 18– 23 % 23.1–28 % >28.1 %

The values will often be lower in athletes. Depend-
ing on the sport, training intensity and the physical
condition the values may even be lower than the
guidelines specified. Please note, extremely low
values may indicate health hazards.
Water percentage
The amount of water in the body in % is typically
inside the following ranges:
Male
Age poor good excellent
10–100 <50 % 50–65 % >65 %
Female
Age poor good excellent
10 –100 <45 % 45–60 % >60 %
Body fat holds relatively little water. The water per-
centage in persons with a high body fat percentage
may therefore be below these guidelines. In endur-
ance athletes, on the other hand, the values may
be higher due to the low body fat percentage and
the high muscle mass.
The water percentage determined using these
diagnostic scales is not suitable for drawing medi-
cal conclusions on e.g. age-related water retention.
If necessary, consult your physician. The general
objective is a high water percentage.
Muscle mass
The muscle mass in % is normally within the follow-
ing ranges:
Male
Age low normal high
10–14 <44 % 44–57 % >57 %
15–19 <43 % 43–56 % >56 %
20–29 <42 % 42-54 % >54 %
30–39 <41 % 41–52 % >52 %
40–49 <40 % 40–50 % >50 %
50–59 <39 % 39–48 % >48 %
60–69 <38 % 38–47 % >47 %
70–100 <37 % 37–46 % >46 %
Female
Age low normal high
10–14 <36 % 36–43 % >43 %
15–19 <35 % 35–41 % >41 %
20–29 <34 % 34–39 % >39 %
30–39 <33 % 33–38 % >38 %
