My GP told me the easiest way to explain my bone density test results is like when a women has a cervical smear test with abnormal cells they then keep check it doesnt turn cancerous i am confused?

Perhaps your GP meant that your bone density is lower than normal, but not low enough to be concerned about, and that it should be checked again later to see if it is any worse. I am just speculating though - you should ask your GP for a clearer answer.

Is earthquake-related tsunami a density dependent factor or density independent factor?
density independent factor
What are density dependent inhibition and anchorage dependence and how do they relate to cancerous cells?
Basically, regular cells, otherwise known as somatic cells, abide by these two inhibitors. A normal, healthy somatic cell will grow and divide until it meets an impassible barrier, such as the edge of a petri dish. This is density dependent inhibition. Such cells also have to be touching some kind of surface in order for the cell to begin to divide. This is known as anchorage dependency. Both of these relate to cancer cells as these cell do not follow these two rules. The cells will continue to divide until they are killed, as they do not follow any of these inhibitors.
The Temperature at which water possesses maximum density is?
At 4C density is maximum.It is measured as 1000Kg/m3.
What are nodular densities?
The term refers to lymph nodes (nodular) which are found along the lymph vessels. Lymph nodes (erroneously called lymph glands) are a part of the lymphatic system, a component of the body's immune system. The density part means that they appear darker than usual and the node may be filled with fibers. These are usually benign and not cancerous. They can interfere in the doctor's ability to read the X-Rays.
What term best describes the number of individuals of a given species per unit area?
Population density.
What is the density anomaly?
Density anomaly refers to an item having a density that is abnormal when compared to the usual densities of similar items. An example would be water since it has a low density of 1.
What is the term has an opposite meaning of osteosclerosis?
Abnormal hardness and density of bone.
What is hypechoic?
Hypoechoic is used in ultrasonography. It points out abnormal reductions in echoes usually due to a change in tissue density in the body.
Can Mobic cause leg cramps?
Leg crampsLeg cramps has been reported by people with low density lipoprotein abnormal.
Mass Times Volume is a formula for what?
Mass times volume isn't a formula for anything. You may be confused with mass divided by volume, which is the formula for density.
What is tap density?
Tapped density is the term used to describe the bulk density of a powder (or granular solid) after consolidation/compression prescribed in terms of "tapping" the container of powder a measured number of times, usually from a predetermined height. The method of "tapping" is best described as "lifting and dropping". Tapping in this context is not to be confused with tamping, sideways hitting or vibration.
How do you find out if cervical spine degeneration is caused by your job?
Your job may make the pain worse, but the condition is more likely caused by age, previous injury, arthritis, osteoporosis and/or low bone density. You would need to ask your doctor for further information.
How is bone density affected by leukemia?
Leukemia is a type of cancer that usually starts in blood forming tissues (bone marrow) that makes the body inefficient in fighting with infections. Due to leukemia cancer body produces abnormal white blood cells that makes the immune system weak. It affects the bones adversely by reducing the density of bone and increasing the chances of fracture.
What are different examples of types of density?
linear density area density volume density linear density area density volume density
What are types of population density?
arithmetic density, agricultural density, physiological density, urban density, residential density
What are the types of Population density?
arithmetic density, agricultural density, physiological density, urban density, residential density
What is the difference density and relative density?
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
