weight  

Definition

  • Weight refers to the amount or quantity of heaviness or body mass, that is, the force that gravity exerts on an individual or thing. A person's body weight includes the heaviness of the skeleton, muscles, bodily fluids (e.g., blood, water), internal organs, and adipose (i.e., fat) tissue that surrounds and protects the bone and organs.
