bone mass
Skeleton's mineral content
Bone mass is the total amount of bone tissue in the skeleton, measured by density and mineral content.
It peaks in early adulthood and gradually declines with age.
Low bone mass increases fracture risk and may indicate osteoporosis: Her doctor recommended weight-bearing exercise to maintain bone mass.
