Hydration measures what percentage of your weight is water. Since water exists in fat cells, muscle cells, blood, etc; you cannot use this, to sum up body composition to 100%.
However, it is helpful to know so you can deal with persistent dehydration and see if you have lost a lot of water weight (versus fat mass(.
Healthy ranges are 45-60% for women and 50-65% for men, but can vary per individual. Always consult your physician or health care provider for specific guidance on your personal hydration measurements and goals.
