Body Mass

Body mass refers to the total weight of a person’s body, including muscles, bones, fat, and other tissues. It provides an overall measure of how much body material a person has. While it doesn't differentiate between types of tissue, body mass is often used alongside other measurements to assess health and fitness. For example, higher body mass can indicate more muscle or fat, and should be interpreted within the context of an individual's body composition and overall health goals. Monitoring body mass helps track changes over time, whether for health, athletic performance, or weight management.
