I like this video a lot. I'm going in for a dexa scan tomorrow and this helps to know some of the factors involved. I'm 67 years young, and I signed up for this scan on advice from my excellent caring and doctor trained martial arts instructor. Thank you for making this video.
Your explanations are simply excellent. Thanks for sharing all this info. I specially liked your breakdown of the LMI and ALMI in the other videos discussing Attias book
@@Bodyscan Thanks for your reply :). Regarding the VAT / viceral fat, I was looking at your "Bodyscan Data" tables to determine in which percentile I'm in. However, I'm not sure at what data of my DEXA should I look at, at the VAT volume (cm3), area (cm2), or weight (g)? in your tables what units does the "Est. VAT visceral" have? Also, somewhere I saw that a VAT area of under 100 cm2 was Ok, is this true, or what would be the upper bound for a healthy patient?
Bone density scans do not directly measure bone density/ bone strength .Thinner women with smaller bones get smaller values as the DEXA scan take bone area into their calculation . Also ,the collagen matrix is paramount to bone strength, making bones more " bendy " on impact . It's not a straight forward equation .
"Heavy boned" may indeed be a false conception. That raises other questions. A friend came waterskiing with us. When we put a waterski belt on him, he sank completely under the water. Two belts, only the top of his head touched the water's surface. It took three belts to keep his head above the water's surface. He was not athletic, a smoker, fairly unmuscled, a bit "big boned," but not obese. We were all surprised that he sank like a stone. But why?

I must say that if "telly" isn't this guys job it really should be. Excellent, very helpful. Thanks 👍🏻
Thanks Steven! You're not the first to say that! As a kid I always want to be an actor. Hope we'll see you at Bodyscan some time. Philip :)

4:41 Thanks for debunking that myth!
That isn't true though. An average skeleton weighs much more than that, like 30 lbs. He's confused with only the mineral component
@@The_Conspiracy_AnalystMaybe he meant dry mass.
I checked out this reference:

Thanks❤.
I have t score of 3.9, what are some complications on the upside?
