Athletes will usually have lower values. Depending on the sport, training intensity, and your physical
constitution, results may still be below the stated ranges. Please note that there may be health risks in the
case of extremely low values.
Body Water Content
Body water content in percent is normally within the following ranges:
Male Female
Age Poor Good Very good Age Poor Good Very good
10–100 <50% 50–65% >65% 10–100 <45% 45–60% >60%
Body fat contains relatively little water; therefore, body water content may be below the standard values in
persons with a high body fat percentage. On the other hand, some athletes may exceed the standard values
due to having low levels of fat and a high muscle percentage.
The body water calculation performed using this scale is not suitable for drawing medical conclusions,
such as in the case of age-related water retention. Consult your doctor where necessary. A high body water
content is generally desirable.
Muscle Percentage
The muscle percentage is normally within the following ranges:
Male Female
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%

Bone mass
Like the rest of our body, bones are subject to natural growth, shrinking, and aging processes. Bone mass
increases rapidly during childhood and reaches its peak between the ages of 30 and 40. As we age, our
bone mass begins to decrease. You can combat this reduction to an extent with the help of a healthy diet
(particularly calcium and vitamin D) and regular physical exercise. The stability of the skeletal system may be
increased through increased muscle mass. Note that this scale does not measure calcium content of bones;
instead, it calculates the weight of all the components that make up the bones (organic matter, inorganic
matter, and water). It is very dicult to aect your bone mass, although it does fluctuate within the scope of
influencing factors (weight, height, age, gender). There are no recognized guidelines or recommendations.
NOTE: Do not confuse bone mass with bone density. Bone density can only be determined by a medical
examination, so you cannot draw conclusions on changes to bones and bone hardness (e.g. osteoporosis)
using this scale.
