About this calculator
Bone mass estimation from height and weight uses published anthropometric regression formulas to approximate the total mass of the skeleton in kilograms, expressed both as an absolute value and as a percentage of total body weight — skeletal mass typically accounts for roughly 12-15% of total body weight in adults, though this varies with frame size, sex, and muscularity. These estimates are derived from cadaver and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) studies correlating skeletal weight with body dimensions in the general population, rather than a direct measurement.
Fitness trackers, body-composition scales, and strength coaches reference bone mass estimates as one component of a fuller body-composition breakdown alongside fat mass and lean muscle mass, useful for tracking changes over time or understanding frame size when interpreting other measurements like BMI or ideal body weight.
This calculator takes your height and weight and returns an approximate bone mass in kilograms along with its share of your total body weight.
