Evaluation Of Results; Body Fat Percentage; Body Water - Sanitas SBF 08 Bedienungsanleitung

– Step onto the scale barefoot and make sure you're standing on both electrodes. First your body weight
is determined and displayed.
– Remain standing on the scale; now the body fat and body water analysis is performed. This can take a
few seconds.
Important: There may be no contact between feet, legs, calves and thighs. Otherwise the measurement
will not be performed correctly.
The following data are automatically displayed consecutively:
1. Weight
2. Body fat in % (FAT)
3. Body water in % (BW)
4. Muscle content (MUS)
5. Body mass index (BMI)
Now all measured values are displayed consecutively and the scale switches off.

Body fat percentage

The following body fat percentages are for guidance (contact your physician for further information).
Man
Age very good good
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%
A lower value is often found in athletes. Depending on the type of sports, training intensity and physical
constitution, values may result which are below the recommended values stated.
It should, however, be noted that there could be a danger to health in the case of extremely low values.

Body water

The body water percentage is normally within the following ranges:
Man
Age poor
10-100 <50%
Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore persons with a high body fat percentage have body wa-
ter percentages below the recommended values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended
values could be exceeded due to low fat percentages and high muscle percentage.
Body water measurement with this scale is not suitable for drawing medical conclusions, for example con-
cerning age-related water retention. If necessary ask your physician.
Basically, a high body water percentage should be the aim.
