Bone mineral content

The weight of mineral in your skeleton. A bioimpedance sheet estimates it; a DXA scan measures it.

What it is

The weight of mineral in your skeleton. A bioimpedance sheet estimates it; a DXA scan measures it.

Why it matters

It is the slowest-moving line here, which is exactly why it deserves a long chart: real change shows up over years, not months.

Reading the number

Bioimpedance derives bone from an equation, so treat the absolute value loosely and the trend on one device as the useful part. This is not bone density, which is what osteoporosis is diagnosed on.

When to raise it

Worth discussing a fall alongside calcium and vitamin D if you have fracture risk.

Tracking only, not a diagnosis. The range above is a typical adult reference range — the range printed by the lab that ran your test is the one that applies to you. Discuss anything that concerns you with your doctor.
