Example:

Calculated actual proportion of water in the body = 51.7 % of total weight.

This value is about 4 % below the calculated individual stan- dard value.

Whilst the proportion of water in the body in % is shown in the display, one of the 9 seg- ments appears in the bar below it.

The figure shown in this ana- lysis reflects the "total body water” (TBW). The body of an adult is composed of about 60% water. Here there is of course a certain range, with older people showing a lower proportion of water than younger people and men sho- wing a higher proportion than women.

The distinction between men and women is a result of the higher mass of body fat in women. Since the majority of the body’s water is to be found in the fat-free mass (73% of the FFM is water) and since the water content in the fat is very low by its nature (about10% of the fatty tissue is water), the proportion of body fat auto- matically decreases with an increasing proportion of water in the body.
