20 / 100
Mostly False

Bone weight is only 15% of total body weight.

Infact verdict: Mostly False (20/100).

The evidence indicates that bone mass typically accounts for 3-5% of total body weight, not 15% as claimed. This is supported by multiple sources including authoritative data from the National Institutes of Health. Therefore, the claim that bone weight is 15% of total body weight is incorrect based on current physiological data.
