High bone density1
- Muscle and bone are denser than fat, so BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high bone density and muscle mass or underestimate it in older people who have low bone density and muscle mass. (harvard.edu)
Metabolic3
- While a higher BMR, which is indicative of higher muscle and lean mass, will -- typically -- result in a lower Metabolic age. (yahoo.com)

- Importantly, the cartilage changes are largely dependent on baseline differences in cartilage volume, tibial bone area, BMI and knee pain, suggesting that these factors might have a role in their initiation. (edu.au)
Indicator1
- A good indicator of how much fat you carry is the body mass index (BMI). (rush.edu)
Person's1
- Body composition refers to the proportion of fat, muscle, and other tissues that make up a person's body. (alliedacademies.org)

Scan6
- Another flagship feature of Body Scan -- one of two that's been approved by medical device regulators in the US and Europe -- is a 6-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) which can detect AFib (aka atrial fibrillation), a common cardiac rhythm disturbance that can cause stroke and heart failure. (yahoo.com)
- Both the US and EU versions of Body Scan have the medically cleared the ECG feature. (yahoo.com)

(cdc.gov)
Obese2
- One possible explanation is that the higher estrone levels in obese women play a significant role both in intestinal calcium and silicon absorption, the synthesis of Vitamin D3, and in direct bone building through the action of estrone on the osteoblasts. (antiaging.com)
- In a group of obese school children from South Korea, 30% had antibodies to Adv 36, and infected children had higher body mass index z-scores than uninfected children ( 5 ). (cdc.gov)

- However, you need to be careful with the amount of calcium intake because how much your body can absorb eventually varies from person to person. (healthsoothe.com)
- This not only prevents proper bone growth, but can also lead to calcium being released form the bones to increase blood calcium levels. (endocrinologyadvisor.com)
Calories2
- Another study of women consuming around 900 calories per day concluded that they lose enough bone muscle mass quickly. (healthsoothe.com)
