Body water percentage
The measurements performed by the scale do not allow
for medically sound conclusions about age-related water
retentions. If you are concerned about your body water
percentage, ask your physician.
The body water percentage is directly related to the percentage of body fat
and muscle. Body fat contains a relatively low amount of water while
muscles tend to store significantly more water.

People with a lower percentage of body fat and high muscle
percentage may exhibit a body water percentage that exceeds the
reference values (such as endurance athletes).
Vice-versa, the body water percentage for people with a high
percentage of body fat is often less than reference values.
Generally speaking, a high percentage of body water is ideal.
The following tables provide an overview of reference values for the
body water percentage (%).
