A dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is used in many hospitals to measure the bone mineral density (BMD) of patients. Healthcare officials can then use the BMD values to predict the risk of fracture or bone disease by determining a T- Score using the formula below. T score = Table 2: DEXA Patient data.

All of the children were healthy and breastfed by mothers who did not smoke. Children in the sample lived in socioeconomic conditions favorable to normal physical growth. Variables such as parental education level and income level were used to exclude children whose growth was “environmentally constrained”; however, low-weight full term babies were included if their mothers met socioeconomic and nutritional criteria. In short, the study design attempted to include healthy children from a wide range of ethnic and cultural groups whose home environments reasonably assured the conditions for healthy physical growth. This data was used to produce growth charts that are part of every pediatrician’s toolkit for monitoring a child’s overall…arrow_forward
- Fifteen adult males between the ages of 35 and 50 participated in a study to evaluate the effect of diet and exercise on blood cholesterol levels. The total cholesterol was measured in each subject initially and then three months after participating in an aerobic exercise program and switching to a low-fat diet. The data are shown in the following table: Blood Cholesterol Level Before Subject After 1 265 229 2 240 231 3 258 227 4 295 240 5 251 238 6 245 m 241 234 7 287 8 314 256 9 260 247 10 279 239 11 283 246 12 240 13 238 218 219 226 233 14 225 15 247 Do the data support the claim that low-fat diet and aerobic exercise are of value in producing a mean reduction in blood cholesterol levels?
