NOTES ON MEASUREMENTS _________________
Total body water
Water is an essential part of the body. The
amount of water in the body may vary between
35% and 70%. It helps all the essential bio-
chemical reactions necessary for normal bodily
functions. Water transports waste products out
of the cells and discharges them in sweat and
urine.
Water also maintains a constant body tempera-
ture. The amount of water in the body depends
on the proportion of water loss, for example due
to heat or physical activity and sweating. There-
fore, it is very important to check the proportion
of water in the body and ensure that it remains
constant.
Notes

The following tables give you a reference
which can help you to judge your body fat
and body water yourself. There is no stand-
ard reference data for muscle mass or bone
weight.

It is important to see and follow the develop-
ment of your body fat, body water, muscle
mass and bone weight over a period rather
than concentrate on the body weight only.

Make sure that your bare feet are well
postioned on the stainless steel electrodes.

larly important. A high fat mass can lead to high
blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease
and other illnesses. The American College of
Sports Medicine have made the following rec-
ommendations for body fat mass:
Notes

Measure body weight, body fat percentage
and water proportion at the same time every
day, preferably in the evening.

sible. This will give you more exact results.

The results are not suitable for diagnosing
medical problems. If in doubt, seek medical
advice.

Your feet should always be clean and dry.
