- What is total body water percentage? (Applicable age 5 to 99)

Total Body Water Percentage is the total amount of uid in a person’s body expressed as a percentage

of their total weight.

Water plays a vital role in many of the body’s processes and is found in every cell, tissue and organ.

Maintaining a healthy total body water percentage will ensure the body functions efciently and will

reduce the risk of developing associated health problems.

Your body water levels naturally uctuate throughout the day and night. Your body tends to be

dehydrated after a longnight and there are differences in uid distribution between day and night. Eating

large meals, drinking alcohol, menstruation, illness, exercising, and bathing may cause variations in your

hydration levels.

Your body water percentage reading should act as a guide and should not be used to specically

determine your absolute recommended total body water percentage. It is important to look for long-term

changes in total body water percentage and maintain a consistent, healthy total body water percentage.

Drinking a large quantity of water in one sitting will not instantly change your water level. In fact, it will

increase your body fat reading due to the additional weight gain. Please monitor all readings over time to

track the relative change.

Every individual varies but as a guide the average total body water percentage ranges for a healthy adult

are:

Female: 45 to 60%

Male: 50 to 65%

Source: Based on Tanita’s Internal Research

Note: The total body water percentage will tend to decrease as the percentage of body fat increases. A

person with a high percentage of body fat may fall below the average body water percentage. As you lose

body fat the total body water percentage should gradually move towards the typical range given above.

- What is visceral fat rating? (Applicable age 18 to 99)

This feature indicates the rating of visceral fat in your body.

Visceral fat is the fat that is in the internal abdominal cavity, surrounding the vital organs in the trunk

(abdominal) area. Research shows that even if your weight and body fat remains constant, as you

get older the distribution of fat changes and is more likely to shift to the trunk area especially post

menopause. Ensuring you, have healthy levels of visceral fat my reduce the risk of certain diseases such as

heart disease, high blood pressure, and the onset of type 2 diabetes.

The Tanita Body Composition Analyzer will provide you with a visceral fat rating from 1 to 59.

Rating from 1 to 12

Indicates you have a healthy level of visceral fat. Continue monitoring your rating to ensure that it stays

within the healthy range.

Rating from 13 to 59

Indicates you have an excess level of visceral fat. Consider making changes in your lifestyle possibly

through diet changes or increasing exercise.
