Based on the Health assessment guidelines (by of University of Southern Queensland, Australia) at
http://www.usq.edu.au/hr/healthsafe/usqsafe/corphealth/corpassess :

The Guidelines for Bone mass

Female:

On average if weight is less then 50kg this will be approx 1.95kg
On average if weight is 50kg - 75kg this will be approx 2.4kg
On average if weight is above 75kg then bone mass will be approx 2.95kg

On average if weight is 65kg - 95kg this will be approx 3.29kg

Not everyone who has low bone mass will develop osteoporosis, everyone with a low bone mass is at a higher risk for the diseases and the resulting fractures. You can take steps to slow down your bone loss and prevent osteoporosis in your future. Your doctor will want you to develop, or keep, healthy habits such as eating foods high in calcium and Vitamin D, doing weight bearing exercise like walking, jogging or dancing. Please talk to an instructor for further recommendations.

(9) Visceral Fat 8% (Note: 1 - 12 Low Risk 13 - 59 Higher Risk based on http://www.tanita.co.uk/index.php?id=28)
