Bone density tests are based on the amount of calcium deposited in the bones. Hypoglycemia is low amounts of blood glucose (sugar) in the blood. They may not be directly related. However, hypoglycemia produces stress hormones including cortisol to increase blood sugar levels. One effect of cortisol is the inhibition of bone formation as well as bone breakdown. If someone had prolonged hypoglycemia for months or years, this could probably effect bone mineral density. This would probably be difficult to measure because diabetics have a lot of other variables which could also affect bone mineral density such as increased levels of inflammation, altered hormone levels, general vitamin and mineral deficiencies, etc.
There is a reasonably strong positive correlation.
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.
Osteoporosis is the name for low bone density.
Runners will have a higher bone density than swimmers because their whole body weight is always acting on the skeleton for the duration of that activity, but during swimming half of the swimmers weight is not acting on the skeleton for the duration of that activity, signaling the body that it does not have to rebuild the bone as much. Runners: higher bone density Swimmers: lower bone density
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.
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 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.
Ultrasonic bone density testingUltrasound and CT Scans are typically ised to check for this condition.
Unremarkable in medical terms means all was well. An unremarkable bone density test means there was no sign of bone density problems.
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
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
The concept of bone density as a measure of bone health was not invented by a single individual. It is a medical and scientific term used to describe the amount of mineral content in bone tissue. Researchers and doctors have developed methods to measure bone density and assess bone health over time.
