Bone Mineral Mass
What is this?
The Bone Mineral Mass feature, which appears on selected Body Composition Monitors (Innerscan), indicates an estimated weight of bone nineral mass. This result is reached through statistical calculation based on research findings that there is a close correlation with bone weight and FFM (Fat Free Mass).



Why do I need to monitor it?
The development of muscle tissue through exercise has been shown to encourage stronger, healthier bones.
It's important that users should aim to develop and maintain healthy bones through plenty of exercise along with a calcium-rich diet.
Obviously there is no healthy range or target for Bone Mineral Mass but as Innerscan gives repeatable readings you will be able to monitor any changes over time.*
