9.2 Evaluating the results

Body fat percentage
The following body fat percentages serve as a guideline (for further information please consult your doc-
tor).
Male
Age Low Normal
10–14 <11% 11–16%
15–19 <12% 12–17%
20–29 <13% 13 –18%
30–39 <14% 14–19%
40–49 <15% 15–20%
50–59 <16% 16–21%
60–69 <17% 17–22%
70–100 <18% 18–23%
Values will often be lower for fitness enthusiasts. Depending on the sporting activities performed, the train-
ing intensity and the physical constitution, the results may still be below the stated standard values. Please
note, however, that there may be a risk to health in the case of extremely low values.
Body water content
The body water content in % is normally within the following ranges:
Male
Age Poor
10–100 <50%
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, endurance 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,
for example in the case of age-related water retention. Consult your doctor where necessary. A high body
water content is generally desirable.
