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

Male:
On average if weight is less then 65kg this will be approx 2.65kg
On average if weight is 65kg - 95kg this will be approx 3.29kg
On average if weight is above 95kg then bone mass will be approx 3.69kg

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)

If you have any comments and advice, please let me know.

Energy expenditure breakdown by our human organs

About 70% of a human's total energy expenditure is due to the basal life processes within the organs of the body (see table).

About 20% of one's energy expenditure comes from physical activity and another 10% from thermogenesis, or digestion of food (postprandial thermogenesis).

Energy expenditure breakdown by our human organs
liver 27%
brain 19%
heart 7%
kidneys 10%
skeletal muscle 18%
other organs 19%
