What Is Bone Mass?
This function indicates the amount of bone (bone mineral level, calcium or other minerals) in the body.
Research has shown that exercise and the development of muscle tissue are related to stronger, healthier bones. While it is unlikely
that there will be noticeable changes in bone structure over short periods, it is important that you develop and maintain healthy bones
by having a balanced diet and plenty of exercise. People worried about bone disease should consult their physician. People who suffer
from osteoporosis or low bone density due to age (young or old), pregnancy, hormonal treatment or other causes may not get
accurate bone mass readings.
Below is the result of estimated bone masses of persons aged 20 to 40, who are said to have the largest amounts of bone mass by
weight. (Source: Tanita Body Weight Science Institute)
Please use the charts below as a guide for comparing your bone mass readings.
Women: Average estimated bone mass
Men: Average estimated bone mass
Note:
• The following types of people may obtain varying results and should use the results for reference only.
- Elderly people
- Women during or after menopause
- People undergoing hormone therapy
• "Estimated bone mass" is a value estimated statistically based on its correlation with fat-free tissue (body tissue other than fat).
"Estimated bone mass" does not give a direct judgment on the hardness or strength of bones or the risk of bone fractures.
If you are concerned about your bones, it is recommended that you consult a specialist.
What Is Body Mass Index (BMI)?
This function indicates the relationship between height and weight.
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers an index of 18.5 to 25 as optimal.
