Interpretation of results

The body fat percentage value measured by this device is assessed as follows:

	Thin	Normal	Overweight	Obese
Men	Less than 10%	10% - 19%	20% - 24%	25% or more
Women	Less than 20%	20% - 29%	30% - 34%	35% or more

If you find that your result is a little outside the normal range we recommend you consult a fitness trainer or a diet specialist. For a healthy lifestyle a balanced diet and sufficient exercise are necessary.
