Putting Into Service - ADE BA 1205 Carlotta Bedienungsanleitung

serves the body as energy storage. As essential for women a minimum body fat
proportion between 10% and 13% and for men between 10% and 13% is requested -
with the exception of competitive athletes.
Body fat is not a clear indicator for health. Too high body weight and a too high body fat
proportion are linked to the incidence of many civilization diseases such as diabetes,
cardiovascular diseases, etc. Lack of movement and improper nutrition are often the
prime course for these diseases. There is a obvious direct relationship between
overweight and lack of movement.
A significant part of the human body consists of body water. This body water is
differently distributed throughout the whole body. Lean muscle tissue contains approx.
75% body water, blood approx. 83% body water, body fat approx. 25% body water and
bones have a water content of about 22%.
The average total body water percentage range for healthy men is between 50 – 65%.
The equivalent value for women is approximately 45 – 60% due to the higher body fat
content. About two third of the total body water is stored in the cells and is therefore
called intra cellular. The other third of the total body water is extra cellular body water.
For men, the normal range of body mass index is between 20 and 25, for women 19 to
24. For people in the second half of life a body mass index to 26 is still considered as
normal.

Due to menstrual cycle and hormonal changes women experience greater changes in
their hydration level. Retaining fluid may cause the weight to fluctuate day-to-day. This will
also affect the body fat percentage readings. If the hydration level is high the body fat
percentage is slightly less – a less hydration level means the body fat percentage is slightly
higher.
There is no healthy risk for pregnancy. The body analyzer is absolutely safe for the mother
and her unborn baby. However, due to the changes in water content in the mother's
body, the readings should not be interpreted as completely accurate.
ADE Germany takes no responsibility for any damages or losses caused by the use of this
body analyzer scales or for Third Party claims. This product is exclusively intended for
