Bone mineral density (BMD)

Definition

Bone strength in grams of mineral per square centimeter, measured by DXA. Losing more than 10% of body weight is associated with a mild reduction whatever caused the loss. Resistance training, enough calcium and vitamin D, and not running an extreme deficit all help hold it.
