Your body tends to be dehydrated after a longnight and there are differences in fluid distribution between day and night. Eating large meals, drinking alcohol, menstruation, illness, exercising, and bathing may cause variations in your hydration levels. Your body water percentage reading should act as a guide and should not be used to specifically determine your absolute recommended total body water percentage. It is important to look for long-term changes in total body water percentage and maintain a consistent, healthy total body water percentage. Drinking a large quantity of water in one sitting will not instantly change your water level. In fact, it will increase your body fat reading due to the additional weight gain. Every individual varies but as a guide the average total body water percentage ranges for a healthy adult are: Female : 45 to 60% Male : 50 to 65% Source : Based on Tanita's Internal Research Note: The total body water percentage will tend to decrease as the percentage of body fat increases. A person with a high percentage of body fat may fall below the average body water percentage. As you lose body, fat the total body water percentage should gradually move towards the typical range given (Various criteria) 38 How to use How to use - What is visceral fat rating? Healthy Range Indicator Your Body Composition Analyzer automatically compares your body fat percentage reading to the Healthy Body Fat Range chart. After your body fat percentage has been calculated, a black bar will flash along the bottom of the display, identifying where you fall within the Body Fat Ranges for your age and gender. (0) : Healthy; within the healthy body fat percentage range for your age/gender. [. . . ] Bromine (Br) is said to not enter the inside of cells, and uses extracellular fluid as the dilution space. 49 GB GB - Factors giving errors in measurement In the BIA method, impedance is measured and the body composition is calculated based on the value. It is known that impedance changes by the amount of the total body water that occupies about 60% of weight and the change in its distribution and temperature change. Therefore, for the purpose of research or for daily repeating of measurements, the measurement conditions must be kept constant. Measurement under the changing conditions of temperature and total body water distribution or blood flow volume of extremities due to exercising, taking a bath, etc. , affects the measurement result since the electric resistance in the body also changes.
