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.

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 scale or for Third Party claims. This product is exclusively intended
for private use. This product is not designed for commercial or professional use in
