inside the following ranges:
Male
Female

Body fat holds relatively little water. The water per-

centage in persons with a high body fat percentage
16.1–21 % >21.1 %
may therefore be below these guidelines. In endur-
17.1–22 % >22.1 %
ance athletes, on the other hand, the values may
18.1–23 % >23.1 %
be higher due to the low body fat percentage and
the high muscle mass.
19.1–24 % >24.1 %
The water percentage determined using these
20.1–25 % >25.1 %
diagnostic scales is not suitable for drawing medi-
21.1–26 % >26.1 %
cal conclusions on e.g. age-related water retention.
22.1–27 % >27.1 %
If necessary, consult your physician. The general
23.1–28 % >28.1 %
objective is a high water percentage.
