Evaluating the measurements

The scale measures the weight of all parts of 

your bones in pounds. This is not the same 

thing as calcium concentration or bone 

density. Only a medical specialist can mea-

sure the calcium concentration and bone 

density with a special medical device. The 

bone mass therefore does not provide any 

information about changes to bones, bone 

hardness or diseases such as osteoporosis.

Our skeleton changes as we age. As we grow up, our 

bone mass increases quickly and peaks between the 

age of 30 and 40. Afterwards, it starts to slowly decline.
Bone mass varies according to gender, height, age and 

weight and can only be influenced to a limited extent. 

As a result, there are no universally-applicable reference 

values.
You can counteract the age-related loss of bone mass 

associated with ageing with proper nutrition and phys-

ical activity. At the same time, be sure that you are get-

ting a sufficient amount of vitamin D and calcium. You 

can strengthen your skeleton by engaging in athletic 

activity to strengthen your muscles.
