Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore

persons with a high body fat percentage have body water

percentages 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 concerning

age-related water retention. If necessary ask your

physician. Basically, a high body water percentage should

be the aim.

Muscle percentage

The muscle percentage is normally within the following

ranges:

Man

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%

40-49 < 31% 31 - 36% > 36%

50-59 < 29% 29 - 34% > 34%

60-69 < 28% 28 - 33% > 33%

70-100 < 27% 27 - 32% > 32%

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 (particularly 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).

Attention: Please do not confuse bone mass with bone

density. Bone density can be determined only by means

of a medical examination (e.g. computer tomography,

ultrasound). It is therefore not possible to draw

conclusions concerning changes to the bones and bone

hardness (e.g. osteoporosis) using this scale.

Little inuence can be exerted on bone mass, but it

will vary slightly within the inuencing factors (weight,

height, age, gender).

AMR = Active Metabolic Rate

The energy consumption of a human being rises with

increasing physical activity and is measured on the

diagnostic scale in relation to the degree of activity

entered (1-5). To maintain your existing weight, the

amount of energy used must be reintroduced into the

body in the form of food and drink. If less energy is

introduced than is used over a longer period of time,

your body will obtain the difference largely from the

amount of fat stored and your weight will reduce. If, on

the other hand, over a longer period of time more energy

is introduced than the total active metabolic rate (AMR)

calculated, your body will be unable to burn off the

excess energy, and the excess will be stored in the body

as fat and your weight will increase.

Results in relation to time

Note that it is only the long-term trend which counts.

Short period uctuations in weight over a few days are

mostly the result of a loss of uid.

The interpretation of the results will depend on changes

in your:

overall weight and body fat, body water and muscle

percentages, as well as on the period during which these

changes take place. Rapid changes

within days must be distinguished from medium term

changes (over weeks) and long term changes (months).

A basic rule is that short term changes in weight almost

exclusively represent changes in water content, whereas

medium and long term changes may also involve the fat

and muscle percentages.

• If your weight reduces over the short term, but your

body fat percentage increases or remains the same,

you have merely lost water – e.g. after a training

session, sauna session or a diet restricted only to rapid

weight loss.

• If your weight increases over the medium term and the

body fat percentage falls or stays the same, then you

could have built up valuable muscle mass.

• If your weight and body fat percentage fall

simultaneously then your diet is working – you are

losing fat mass. Ideally you should support your diet

with physical activity, tness or power training. By this

means, you can increase your muscle percentage over

the medium term.

Important when measuring body fat/body water/muscle

percentage:

• The measurement may only be carried out while

barefoot and it is helpful if the soles of your feet

are slightly damp. Completely dry soles can result

in unsatisfactory results, as they have insufcient

condutivity.

• Stand still during the measurement.

• Wait several hours (6-8) after unusually strenuous

activity.

• Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting out of bed so

that the water in your body can be distributed.
