A lower level is often found in athletes. Depending on the
type of sports, the intensity of training and the person's
physical constitution, levels can be achieved that are
even lower than the specified guidelines.

The body water percentage is normally within the
following ranges:
MAN
Age poor
10-100 < 50%
WOMAN
Age poor
10-100 < 45%
Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore
persons with a high body fat percentage have body water
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 concerning
age-related water retention. If necessary ask your
physician. Basically, a high body water percentage should
be the aim.

| bone mAss
Like the rest of our body, our bones are subject to the
natural development, degeneration and ageing
processes. Bone mass increases rapidly in childhood and
reaches its maximum between 30 and 40 years of age.
Bone mass reduces slightly with increasing age. You can
reduce this degeneration somewhat with healthy nutrition
(particularly calcium and vitamin D) and regular exercise.
With appropriate muscle building, you can also strengthen
your bone structure.
note: this scale will not show you the calcium content
of your bones, but will measure the weight of all bone
constituents (organic substances, inorganic substances
and water).
Attention: Please do not confuse bone mass with bone
density. Bone density can be determined only by means
of a medical examination (e.g. computer tomography,
ultrasound). It is therefore not possible to draw
conclusions concerning changes to the bones and bone
hardness (e.g. osteoporosis) using this scale.
Little influence can be exerted on bone mass, but it will
vary slightly within the influencing factors (weight,
height, age, gender).

| bmr
The basal metabolic rate (BMr) is the amount of energy
required by the body at complete rest to maintain its
basic functions (e.g. while lying in bed for 24 hours). This
value largely depends on weight, height and age. It is
displayed on the diagnostic scale in kcal/day units using
the scientifically recognized Harris-Benedict formula.
Your body requires this amount of energy in any case and
it must be reintroduced into your body in the form of
nutrition. If you take on less energy over the longer term,
this can be harmful to your health.
