SUMMARY
The density of the calcaneus bone, specifically its bone mineral apparent density (BMAD), is reported to be approximately 0.4 - 0.6 g/cm3 for certain populations, including a Korean population and an Amazonian population. Key references include a study published in the Journal of Korean Medical Science and another from the American Journal of Roentgenology. The density is commonly measured in g/cm3 or kg/m3, with the need for precise units emphasized in the discussion.
