Scales with bone mass analyzer

% bone mass

— determination of the total weight of the bones contained in the body. This parameter is used for general diagnostics of the organism. For example, some people have rather dense and heavy bones, which is why their body weight is higher than normal for a given height, but in this case there is no question of being overweight; assessment of the amount of bone tissue reveals such features.

In addition, the percentage of bone mass is taken into account in some specific measurements — for example, determining physical age (see below).
