The body fat content is shown as the amount of stored fat as a percentage of total body
weight. There is no generally accepted set value as this varies significantly according to
gender (due to the different build) and age. Body fat is vital for basic body functions. It' s
protecting organs, cushioning joints, regulating body temperature, storing vitamins and
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 an 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%.
