What else can I help you with?
Can you have good bone density but yet have arthritis?
No, it shows the density of the bone, People that have arthritis however are often more likely to get bone density problems because of the drugs they have to use to control the disease and often restrictions in their lifestyle may also make them more prone to bone density problems.
What is an unremarkable bone density test?
Unremarkable in medical terms means all was well. An unremarkable bone density test means there was no sign of bone density problems.
What is the effect on your bone density after exersice?
For bone density to be effected by exercise you should use appropriate (end to end) loading.The effect of exercise on bone density depends on the exercise in question.Examples of exercise that would increase bone density are those which load the bone from one end to the other providing impact or external resistance (weight) loading through the bone i.e.- Walking/jogging - the impact of the foot striking the floor causes the leg bones to be loaded appropriately. Jogging would be better than walking as there is greater impact.- Pressing/Pushing a weight or your body (such as press ups or bench press) loads the bones in the arms appropriately whereas pulling exercises or rotating (bicep curl for instance) does not apply any such load.Cycling has some loading whereas swimming on the other hand does not load the bone and would have little benefit for increasing bone density.Note: You should be cautious of impact however as weak joints can be damaged. Build up slowly i.e. walking instead of jogging or by using a workout based on your current level of fitness and designed to increase bone density.
How can I get my bone density score checked?
If you want to get your bone density score checked out you should go see specialist. Have your doctor refer you to a bone specialist to do a bone density test on you.
Is high bone density bad?
There is the possibility that low bone density can increase health risks. One possible risk for those with low bone density is an increase risk of bone fracture, especially in older women who suffer fractures to the hip and pelvis areas as the result of falls.
What is known as decrease in bone density?
Osteoporosis is the name for low bone density.
How does bone density occur?
Bones are living tissues. It is possible to improve their density by doing weight-bearing exercises such as walking, running, and resistance training. Bones will thicken when stressed properly .
What does photon absorptiometry measure?
Photon absorptiometry measures bone mineral density by using a beam of photons that is passed through the bone to assess its density. This method is commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis and monitor changes in bone density over time.
The weight and density of a person's bone structure determines?
The weight and density of a person's bone structure determines their overall bone strength and susceptibility to fractures. Higher bone density is generally associated with stronger bones and lower risk of osteoporosis. Genetics, age, diet, and physical activity can all influence bone density.
What type of diagnostic testing is a definitive test for osteoporosis?
Ultrasonic bone density testingUltrasound and CT Scans are typically ised to check for this condition.
What is the bone density of cow bone?
The density of cow bone will vary from cow to cow, but has been recorded in ranges from 1.24 - 1.71 g/cm^3
Where can I find more information on bone mineral density?
Bone Mineral Density tests measure the density of minerals in your bones to determine bone strength. This could often be found to be beneficial. However more information can be found at http://www.webmd.com/osteoporosis/bone-mineral-density-test
