10. Evaluation of results

Body fat percentage

The body fat values are shown in the display and evaluated with “top”, “good”, “average” or “poor”. The

following body fat percentages are guide values (contact your physician for further information).

Man Woman

top good average poor top good average poor

Age low normal high very high Age low normal high very high

10-14 <11 11-16 16,1-21 >21,1 10-14 <16 16-21 21,1-26 >26,1

15-19 <12 12-17 17,1-22 >22,1 15-19 <17 17-22 22,1-27 >27,1

20-29 <13 13-18 18,1-23 >23,1 20-29 <18 18-23 23,1-28 >28,1

30-39 <14 14-19 19,1-24 >24,1 30-39 <19 19-24 24,1-29 >29,1

40-49 <15 15-20 20,1-25 >25,1 40-49 <20 20-25 25,1-30 >30,1

50-59 <16 16-21 21,1-26 >26,1 50-59 <21 21-26 26,1-31 >31,1

60-69 <17 17-22 22,1-27 >27,1 60-69 <22 22-27 27,1-32 >32,1

70-100 <18 18-23 23,1-28 >28,1 70-100 <23 23-28 28,1-33 >33,1

A lower value is often found in athletes. Depending on the type of sports, training intensity and physical

constitution, 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.

Body water percentage

The body water percentage is normally within the following ranges:

Man Woman

Age poor good very good Age low normal high

10-100 <50 50-65 >65 10-100 <65 45-60 >60

Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore persons with a high body fat percentage have body wa-

ter percentages below the recommended values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended

values could be exceeded due to low fat percentages and high muscle percentage.

This scale is unsuitable for measuring body water in order to draw medical conclusions concerning age-

related water retention, for example. If necessary ask your physician. Basically, a high body water percent-

age should be the aim.

Muscle percentage

The muscle percentage % is normally within the following ranges:

Man Woman

Age low normal high Age low normal high

10-14 <44 44-57 >57 10-14 <36 36-43 >43

15-19 <43 43-56 >56 15-19 <35 35-41 >41

20-29 <42 42-54 >54 20-29 <34 34-39 >39

30-39 <41 41-52 >52 30-39 <33 33-38 >38

40-49 <40 40-50 >50 40-49 <31 31-36 >36
