Mean and standard deviation of human bone density?
Interesting question that I'd not considered before.

Bone density is commonly measured by assessing the bone mineral density (BMD) using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DMA), literally the g/cm2 of minerals in the bone. 

Having had a search I can only find values for a small number of bones commonly measured when testing for osteoporosis (characterised by reduced BMD). Unsurprisingly the age and sex of the individual has a large effect on BMD; after puberty males have higher BMD (1) and during ageing this then declines, sometimes dramatically (2).

These values are from a Vietnamese study (3) show that the hip and the spine are different.

Men [ mean (SD) ]


Femoral neck: 0.85 (0.13)
Total hip: 1.00 (0.13)
Lumbar spine: 1.05 (0.12)


Women  [ mean (SD) ]


Femoral neck: 0.80 (0.11)
Total hip: 0.95 (0.12)
Lumbar spine: 0.96 (0.11)


There must be other reference values for other bones in different populations but I don't have time to look them up now! Good luck in your own research.

I found this website by the US National Institute of Health and this PDF by the World Health Organisation immeasurably enlightening.
