Keep in mind: Focusing too closely on the DEXA bone density scores can be a mistake. Many doctors admit that the DEXA T-score is not a perfect predictor for bone health or fracture risk. That’s why it’s important to consider taking the other tests. Furthermore, your risk factors are...
As you know, with age, you are bound to lose muscle mass and bone density, and start accumulating more body fat. Factually, when compared to men, women carry greater fat content. One of the biggest flaws of BMI is that it does not differentiate between body fat and muscle mass. Your ...
Impaired bone health due to lack of calcium and vitamin D will compromise bone density, increasing the chances of osteoporosis (bone porosity) and fracture. Overweight, obesity, and severe obesity The BMI for overweight, obesity, and severe obesity are from 25 to 40 and above. It may arise d...
While BMI is a starting point to screen for an unhealthy weight-height ratio that may lead to health issues, it is often not a reliable or realistic estimate. That is because BMI calculations do not consider age, gender, body frame size, muscle mass, genetic factors, bone density, activity...
(bp is great, bone density is very good, still not menopausal, etc.) i’m kind of looking at the 41-45 y/o numbers rather than those for my actual age. that puts my goal weight, assuming i neither add nor lose muscle somewhere in the ballpark of 140ish. does this sound feasible/...
Waist circumference.This is the measurement of your waist between your lowest rib and the top of your hip bone. It is an easy way to identify excess abdominal fat, which is closely linked to weight-related illnesses and mortality. Calculating your waist-to-hip ratio can also estimate abdominal...

Above is an example of a City pie chart available at EdrawMax. It displays information on the demographics and population density of the four most populous cities on the planet; London, New York, Mumbai, and Singapore. Below is another pie chart template indicating how long employees worked in...
Although it gives a good estimation of body fat for most individuals, it may be erroneous to use in the case of bodybuilders and other muscular people who have high muscle mass. High bone density may also result in high BMI. BMI may underestimate body fat in people who have lost muscle ...
From DB7, construct a histogram of bone density in the intervals 80–<140, 140–<160, 160–<180, and 180–<200. Exercise 5.13. From DB7, construct pie charts of patient (a) sexes and (b) ages (grouped 17–19, 20–22, 23–25, >25). Exercise 5.14. From DB14, construct a bar...
