Body Fat
Body fat is an important part of the body. Fat plays an
important role in your body ranging from the protection of
joints with its reserve of vitamins to the regulation of the
body temperature. The goal is not to reduce drastically
the quantity of fat in your body, but to reach and maintain
a balanced relation between the muscular mass and the
fat mass.
The signifi cance of water for our health
The human organism consists of approximately 55-60%
water, with this quantity varying according to age and sex.
Water has a number of tasks to fulfi l in the body:
• It is a building block of our cells. This means that
all cells in the body, whether these are skin, gland,
muscle, brain or other cells, can only function if they
receive enough water.
• It is a solvent for important substances in our orga-
nism.
• It is a means of transport for nutrients, the body's own
substances and metabolic products.
Please see the table of guideline values for the reference
value for your fi tness profi le. It shows that there is a
relation between the body fat values and your age and
sex. Always bear in mind that, as in the case of the water
balance in your body, also the share of fat is subject to
great variations. Therefore, weigh yourself always at the
same hour of the day to obtain a comparable value.
The results of the analysis of the body fat and body water
ratio are only reference values. They are not recommen-
ded for use for medical purposes. You should always con-
sult your doctor if you have any questions about medical
treatment or a diet to achieve your normal weight.

Attention: Owing to great variations in the level of body
fat it is diffi cult to obtain a reference value. On average for
adult men the best time for the measurement is between
6 and 8 o'clock p.m. because the level of body fat is very
constant during this period!
