Anyone use a "smart scale" to track bone mass?

Posted by heartme @heartme, Mar 24, 2025

I bought a very inexpensive "smart scale" to track my bone mass between my recent Dexa and my next scan in two years. It spits out a "percentage" of bone mass while others seems to give an estimate of bone weight. I'm just looking to use one to track my bone trends to see if I'm going up, down or maintaining.

Has anyone here used one and if you have, did it match your next Dexa as far as more or less bone density? Any specific scale you recommend?

I've been using one for over a decade, and even when my weight/body fat/muscle have changed, my bone density has never wavered--per the scale. My DEXA scans show exactly the opposite. I wouldn't trust it.
